Encal
Yes, experiments have been conducted to further understand the effects of microgravity on many different species, fish are among those who have been in space.
Skylab 3 held the first fish, a mummichog, to enter space.1
An aquatic habitat was constructed on the ISS (international space station) to house, medaka, zebrafish and Xenopus.2 Most material delivered for the construction, maintenance and research conducted aboard ISS has been transferred through the space shuttle.
There is ongoing research involving aquatic animals and their response to microgravity.3
