Fun Facts About Fish

  • Fish actually have good memories. Despite the myth that fish quickly forget things, the opposite is true. Some fish can remember the people who feed them, and researchers have found that fish can even remember a song 5 months after listening to it while being fed!
  • Fish communicate with each other. While fish don't have vocal cords, they're still able to communicate with other fish using smells, movement, and even electricity.
  • Fish cooperate with other types of fish. Fish sometimes work together with other fish species to hunt, which makes them more successful at catching prey. For example, groupers signal to other fish where prey is hiding so they can work together to catch it.
  • There are over 30,000 known species of fish. That's more than 3 times as many types of birds and 6 times as many types of mammals!
  • The world's largest fish is the whale shark. That's right—the giant whale shark that can grow to over 50 feet long is a fish! In fact, all sharks are fish.
