Fishes Are Not Always Fishes ! Surprised ? Go Through This Article

INTRODUCTION

The names of few animals are ended with the term 'Fish' or it's homonym like 'Phis', although they belong under the different Animal Phylum and also their names of Genus are different. It is confusing to some people to get the proper idea about an animal after watching such names, because all the animal names ended with 'Fish' are not really a fish. As for example, if a person thinks that Silver Fish is a fish as white as silver then that will be a partially wrong idea, because the animal Silver Fish is really white coloured but it is not at all a fish, instead of that it is a Pterygot insect that never can fly. Silver Fishes (Phylum : Uniramia, Genus : Lepisma) are generally found as a book worm and are notorious for cutting the pages of books.
