You would say "fish" if you were talking about one fish, or multiple fish of the same species, but "fishes" if you had multiple fish of different species. Ex. "The fish in my tank are Guppies." or "The fishes in my tank are Guppies and Mollies."

For more than 1 fish I say (fishies) but, to my daughter who is 18 months and other little kids. To older kids or adults, I say fish.
