Anko Anglerfish, which has a bioluminescent lure at the end of a stalk growing from its head. The pokemon "Chinchou" and its evolved form "Lanturn" are based on the anglerfish.

Fugu is the Japanese puffer fish, which you may remember from an episode of The Simpsons.

Koi Carp; or Nishikigoi, "colored carp," actually look more like a cross between goldfish and catfish, I'd say. Something like that, anyway. They're a type of Japanese fish of which there are many varieties. They are to be kept in large ponds or aquariums. One of my fondest wishes is that I could someday have a koi pond of my own, cuz I love them fishes so much... they're just adorable.... See Koi.com, Everything, or Wikipedia.
