They have layers of fat, feathers or fur to keep themselves warm. Unlike us, animals have fur so they can keep warm. Take a rabbit for instants, they live in a burrow so they have a warm home.

Fish and reptiles both regulate their body temperature behaviorally by going to areas where the temperature fits their biochemical needs, eg. sunning on rocks to raise temperature, etc.

Some fish and reptiles also hibernate when temperatures get too cold.

Artic fish have a higher concentration of salt in their bodies and this lowers their freezing point by an average of -.7. However, the biggest reason why they don't freeze is they have an array of lipids in their body, mainly glycoprotein, that acts as an antifreeze. There's also a large amount of adaptations these fish have made, look up some artic fish such as the icefish. hope this helps.

Fish keep warm by swimming around and staying in warm water, or water that is in the sunlight.

No fish are cold blooded. The scales are there to protect the flesh and skin from the water. Just as our skin protects our flesh from the air.
