Fish CAFOs
I don't know why people use "fishes" when "fish" is a perfectly acceptable term for more than one fish. In this context nobody would have assumed they were only talking about a single fish.
- 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
- @Linktank "fishes" refers to multiple species of fish
  
  3 goldfish = 3 fish
  
  1 goldfish, 1 trout and 1 catfish = 3 fishes
  
  Yeah, "fish" still applies in that situation.
