Fish is plural for more then one of the same species. Fishes is plural for multiple species. Therefore if looking-in-a school of salmon, look-in-the fish. If looking into an aquarium with darters, minnows and sunfish, look-in-the fishes

Subject: NANFA-L-- Pennsylvania fishes
I might be going to this scout camp up by the Delaware River a little north of Philadelphia. Specifically, Tohickon creek. Any unusual fishes live up here? What physiographic province is it in? On a different note, which is correct: fish or fishes. I know it has to do with the number verses species, but I'm not sure which is which.
Thanks,
Andrew
