The Bible is silent on the identify of the type of fish. It should be noted that the sign of the Fish- Icthys in Greek was an early Christian symbol. The miracle, as the bible relates actually occured and the food resources were multiplied. On the other hand the (Good Samaritan) was an allegorical parable, and he was not a real person, Jesus does not reveal him by name. He was not one of the twelve apostles, that is obvious. The Good Samaritan is fiction-in-truth,. or truth in fiction. On the oither hand the food-multiplying feat was real.

How big were the loaves in Mark chapter 6?
The Bible doesn't describe the size of the loaves of bread in Mark 6:38-43. What is significant is not the size of the loaves, but the amount of them. If Jesus was able to break up five loaves into enough pieces to feed 5,000 men (Mark 6:44), it was indeed a miracle!
What size were the 12 baskets used to collect left-over pieces of bread when Jesus fed the 5000?
According to Mark 6:43, there were "twelve basketfuls" of leftover pieces of fish and bread gathered up after the 5,000 men (plus an undetermined number of women & children) ate. Mark 8:8 documents "seven basketfuls" of leftovers after feeding 4,000 men (again, not counting women & children).

What is Matthew the Aposlte's writing style?
There are many varied answers to this question. Simply put, Matthew is interested in the status of Jesus as the Jewish Messiah, and as such spends much time portraying him as such. He inserts five 'blocks' of Jesus' teaching, comparing it to the five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), the 'Torah' or 'Pentateuch'. He also quotes much of the Old Testament scriptures that support Jesus' Messiahship and that he fulfils, and adds the genealogy of Jesus at the beginning, showing how he is the 'Son of David' as promised in the Old Testament. Matthew was probably written after Mark, as 99% of Mark is in Matthew, almost word for word.
