Why is it important to leave air space in a fish jar?
Water gets its oxygen (which the fish need to absorb through their gills to ''breathe'') by absorbing it from the air. If the water surface is not in contact with air, the fish will quickly use up all the oxygen in the water and die.
What phylum and order do fish belong to?
Fish belong to Phylum Chordata (Chordates) - Having at some stage of development an axial rod-like notocord for support

fish-
this is a tricky one ,
you can have 1 fish or many fish but if there are different types of fish, such as catfish mixed with flounder you have many FISHES
geese - singular goose
yet moose is always plural - 1 moose many moose
mice - singular mouse
lice - singular louse
How about: rice or wheat? [I am indulging, even if temporarily. I find that few people use the discussion areas except in a couple of specialized topics. All of this may go to Discussion eventually, but I wanted to share it before sending it to limbo.]
It's interesting that a question that appears so simple can have some subtle problems connected with it. Natural Val's original choices of geese, mice and lice I think are good. They are in fact always plural. Goose is not the same word as geese, and the questioner is seeking words that are always plural. Natural Val chose words whose plural forms don't follow the usual rules. Maybe that is the questioner's intention. Using the 'different word' argument though, we have to conclude that many if not all plural nouns [ie, acorns] that don't have identical singular and plural forms are in fact words that are always plural. The question may reduce to a tautology. Words that are always plural words are words that are only plural. I considered offering:
scissors
pants
rabies
which I thought could only exist in these plural forms, but there are problems with at least the first two, which indeed have singular forms. Rabies is considered a singular noun with rabies as the plural form.
Rice and wheat have their problems as well. The contributor clearly and correctly understands that if I am having rice with dinner, I'm not going to say "I had chicken and [hundreds of] rices... It [they?] was [were?] delicious. The problem is that they [rice and wheat] take singular form (probably always). I would not say that "Rice are [a] staple food[s] in many parts of the world."
There is something not the least bit trivial about this mystery over "pluralness". We seem to know much more than the simple information coded in our lexicon, and what we know, even the "simple stuff", can be very difficult to express.
Hard Coral is not a fish but, some small fish live in hard coral.
How do a fishes eyes help them survive?
They are vary bright I watched finding Nemo and I asked my self the same thing. If you see light can help us in many ways and even help us live! It's like it you eat 100 carots it helps you see in the dark weel with the fish there born with that sence.

Is there any boneless fish in the world?
no fish has no bones because the fish(s) will not be able to swim without a backbone or bones.
No most fish are friendly but alot of fish like sharks are very territorial just leave them alone and you probably won't get attacked
Yes, they can, but its often better to give them cat food, if they dislike this give them some bird feed. However, bird feed can cause death, its proven that if you give them bird feed they wont eat it and eventually die.
Since fish live in water and dont breath air does that mean fish can live in space?
No. Fish don't breathe air, but they still breathe oxygen, and there's no oxygen in space. They need oxygen just as much as we do; they just aquire it differently. The oxygen-rich water flows over their gills, and membranes in their gills absorb the oxygen from it and replace it with carbon dioxide.
