Ectothermic means the same thing as "cold-blooded." It means that the animals body does not produce its own heat internally so the animal's temperature varies with its surroundings.
Endothermic means the same thing as "warm-blooded." It means that the animals body regulates its temperature internally by producing heat and keeping the body temperature relatively stable.
Exothermic does not relate to animals at all. It is a term used in chemistry to describe certain types of chemical reactions.
Fish are ectothermic as most living things that are not birds or mammals are.
