Amberfishes

/ˈæmbərfɪʃɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural of amberfish; multiple fish of the amberfish species or type.

Etymology

Plural form of 'amberfish', using the irregular English plural '-es' (rather than just '-s') because 'fish' becomes 'fishes' when referring to multiple species or types.

Kelly Says

English has this quirky rule where 'fish' stays 'fish' in a school, but becomes 'fishes' when you're talking about different kinds—it's a tiny grammar rule that actually reflects how we categorize sea creatures.
