Do fish have butt holes?
The correct name for this is an anus. Fish eat food and everything it does not digest passes through the digestive system and out through the anus. Some fish like parrot fish eat a lot of coral. They chew off chunks of coral and 'poo' out the calcium carbonate of the coral as a fine sand. The reason that tropical beaches have beautiful white sand is because fish like parrot fish have chewed up the coral and passed it out of the anus.

Is the parrot fish toxic to humans?
I don't know, but I believe that a parrot fish was actually is a parrot that once dove underwater to find food and accidentally swallowed a wish fish and was transformed into the parrot fish. And now you ask, "But how are their so many?" Let me answer your question. After the parrot was transformed into a fish, it could grant any wish. Then one day a boy was fishing and caught the parrot fish. The fish begged to go back into water since he was a fish now and said if the boy let him go that the parrot fish would grant him a wish. Any wish so the boy agreed. The boys wish was that the fish would make more of the parrot fish so that the boy could catch more and get more wishes. And his wish was granted. So again I don't know if the parrot fish is toxic to humans but they most certainly grant wishes!
