Many many years ago a gt aunt told us a joke about a man who went into a petrol station with a can and said to the attendant 'Can of BP' which sounded like 'can a bee pee'. The attendant replied, 'I dont know but I know a fish can f**t because I heard one.' As a little girl I was a bit shocked by the f word, although we thought it was a great joke.

No they don't. I breed Koi. they don't have the glands. Any excess liquid is excreted with the faeces and other waste is released from their gills.

Yes, fish do urinate in order to excrete metabolic wastes and to regulate their water and ion balance. (Enjoy your next swim!) See this link or google. http://www2.abc.net.au/science/k2/stn-archive1/posts/topic4699.shtm
