DS's school has a tropical fishtank in the reception area. On the top of the tank is a list entitled

'FISHES NAMES'

Have I got this right?...shouldn't it be

'FISH'S NAMES'

As the plural of 'fish' is 'fish and as it pertaints to the ownership of names it should have an apostrophy.

Pedants please advise.

And as the tank is just outside the head's office and if my suspicions are correct, should I raise the matter with the school? It doesn't look good in the reception of a school in special measures if it's wrong does it?

'our goldfish's names are:'
is probably the best way forward.

fishes is definitely wrong though

one of the q's here deals with it and says fish's is correct
