Because if fish had fur then the fur would get wet and weigh them down and they wouldn't be able to swim very well. Scales help them move swiftly in the water and give them an armor-like outer covering.
Firstly remember that FISH HAVE SCALES!!!I don't think it would be a fish if it had fur or skin. Blow fish have scales, but also have many spikes across their body. These spikes are a form of defence, other fish are not so keen to eat something that would scratch on their throat and mouths!!! Hope this helps.

No, a fish's scales do not shed as the fish grows larger. Instead, the fish's scales grow in size as the fish grows. The scales provide protection for the fish and do not need to be shed like skin or fur.
Most fish do in fact have scales, even some with scales that are nearly microscopic in size; many catfish however do not have scales, they have armour plating, but not scales.
Most fish are covered in scales for protection. They vary in size, shape and structure and can range from strong and rigid to small or absent. The main types of scales include the cycloid scales, the ctenoid scales, the placoid scales and the ganoid scales.

Fish have scales because their natural habitat is of course, water. If a fish had fur, it would weigh them down. Also, where would a fish's gills go because gills enable fish to breathe! Squirrels have fur also for their habitat to keep them warm. Hope I have helped!!!!
