Fish names in español? and other languages...

There are so many different flags represented on fishlore that I thought it might be fun to know what some of the common names for fish are in different parts of the world. I know that even English speaking countries might vary.

I lived in Mexico and speak a little Spanish... but I don't know how to say any of the common fish types in español except el pez de colores (goldfish)... What about platies, gouramies... etc...

As far as Spanish words go...most of the lists I've found are for fish that you eat... not fish that you would buy in pet stores. I found it interesting that in Spanish they call fresh water fish...pez de agua dulce (fish of sweet water)...

el alevín is minnow
la perca is perch

The general word for fish in Russian is рыба, which transliterates to ryba.

The Russian word for shark is акула, which transliterates to akula. (I actually named my RTBS Akula )

The Swedish word for fish in general is fisk.
