Fish is plural and singular. Fishes is not the plural of fish. It's the same as the word Moose.

Fish is used in either singluar or plural but when it comes to different species, the word fishes is more popular. "There are numerous fish in that tank" compared to "Of all the fishes, cod is a dolphin's preference."
I believe Jesus fed the crowd with fishes and loaves, and there's an expression, "Ye gods and little fishes!" so it must not be a hard and fast rule.

Yes, to the former and no, to the latter. Fishes is used in the present tense, ie; He fishes the Great Lakes in the summer time.

This is more complicated than you think.
SINGULAR: Fish
PLURAL: Fish OR Fishes. It depends.
What does it depend on?
Two things.
(1) In England, you are more likely to say fishes than you are in the the US.
(2) It also depends whether the fish are alive or dead. In the ocean, or the river, or indeed the aquarium, they are more likely to be fishes. On your plate, they are more likely to be fish.
