I'm doing homework for my Biology class, and I'm doing the Fish part. Throughout the whole chapter, it says the word "fishes" for the plural of fish. I believed it to just be "fish" but apparently it's not anymore. Or maybe this book just sucks. Thing is, I would like the official plural form of the word fish. It's annoying me.

I say fish. As in "Look at all them fish in the water." It doesn't sound right saying "Look at all the fishies in the water."

I think it's "Fish" for more than one fish of the same type, but "Fishes" if you are referring to different species.

Or maybe I'm just making this all up. Who knows?

Nope, it's not. Fishes describes a group containing more than one species. Fish is multiple of the same type. So neither is wrong. Plural of Moose is moose btw.
