The Bible is silent on the identify of the type of fish. It should be noted that the sign of the Fish- Icthys in Greek was an early Christian symbol. The miracle, as the bible relates actually occured and the food resources were multiplied. On the other hand the (Good Samaritan) was an allegorical parable, and he was not a real person, Jesus does not reveal him by name. He was not one of the twelve apostles, that is obvious. The Good Samaritan is fiction-in-truth,. or truth in fiction. On the oither hand the food-multiplying feat was real.

What are the differences in Mark and Mathew in Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand?

According to Mark Jesus fed 5000 men. According to Matthew, Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children. In other words, Matthew had a little more detail than Mark. Perhaps this lines up with his background. He was used to counting everything and everybody. Mark was also a briefer Gospel and he left a few incidentals out.
