Best Answer

Fins on a fish is what fish use to swim around, normally there would be three fins, one at the top and one on each side of the body.

Scales would normally be on the body, to keep it secure. The sizes can be different, but it depends on the size of the fish. A big fish would have big scales and a small fish would have small scales.
