No. Fish are cold blooded and lay eggs, and do not nurse their babies with milk.

Animals such as whales, dolphins and porpoise are mammals although they live in the same environment as fish.

Mammals cannot filter air out of the water with their lungs, as fish do with their gills.

There are two types of fishes - Osteichthyes, or bony fishes, and Chondrichthyes, the cartilaginous fishes. Most fish are bony fishes, with skeletons like mammals. But sharks, skates, rays and Chimera are cartilaginous.
Starfish, or Sea Star, a bottom-dwelling marine animal. Despite its name, the starfish is not a fish; it is an echinoderm.

All fish are classified as vertebrates, with the excpetion of dolphins. Dolphins are mammals because they have a constant body temperature, hair or fur, are air breathers and feed their young on milk.
