Should this be "vision in fish" or the current "vision in fishes"?

Not sure if the term used generally would be fishes (plural) in this context. Robertlerner (talk) 03:42, 3 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

My impression is that the entire article is written using cute language. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. "Vision in fishes" is abnormal English, but not overtly incorrect. IronMaidenRocks (talk) 04:15, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
