      @Linktank “fishes” refers to multiple species of fish

      3 goldfish = 3 fish

      1 goldfish, 1 trout and 1 catfish = 3 fishes

      Thy did it knowingly. They had this written at the end. A bit silly imo but I guess it has meaning for them.

      *While the English language usually refers to multiple fishes as “fish”, we use “fishes” to emphasize that they are individuals.

        It also sounds funnier, that’s why I always use fishes
