Do you know your fish, how many can you name (without Googling)?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) February 3rd, 2015

How many fish do you know of, NOT INCLUDING mollusks, mammals (dolphins, whales, and so on), crustaceans, cephalopods, etc. but true fish, such as cod, minnows and such?

Better than I think I would have done, it is nowhere easy as it seems once you start doing it.

@Brian1946 If you did all that without Google, I will give you one for being the 1st to bring in the ”shahks” (sharks)

@ARE_you_kidding_me You get one because you came with the Asian Carp.

@jaytkay Is a seahorse a fish?
I am not sure, to tell you the truth. If eels are seen as fish, who knows?

But for Blue Fin tuna, you get one, they are delicious. :-P
