Rhyming Fish

[cos]

A game from Valerie Thompson.
(though she got it from someone else, I don't know who)
Merely ending in "fish" is in suffishient :)

rainbow trout / eelpout
gar / char
bass / wrasse
jawfish / sawfish
bonefish / stonefish
Edit: batfish / catfish
... and another late addition: toby / goby
[Feb 2016] shad / scad

First one is from Valerie, the rest are me & Alice. Can you think of another?

Edit - More from the comments...

From wotw:
aruana / piranha
cory / dory (which Alice and I thought of, but then thought "dory" wasn't a type of fish)

Atlantic salmon/Pacific salmon !

[wotw]

Stingray/Moray

[cos]

I said that one to the group at Valerie's party, and someone countered by saying that a rhyme begins on the last stressed syllable, so these two don't actually rhyme.

[wotw]

That will also rule out mackerel/pickerel then.

[wotw]

Aruana/Piranha

[wotw]

Dory/Cory

[cos]

We thought of that one but dismissed it under the mistaken belief that "Dory" was just the name of a fish character in Finding Nemo, not an actual kind of fish. I see now that was wrong!

[wotw]

Two Fish/Blue Fish !

And the confusing cod/scrod. (Doesn't really count.)

[cos]

We thought of that one, but we all knew scrod wasn't actually a type of fish :)

[wotw]

Luderick/Fish stick

Not sure if that counts: lark/shark ?

[cos]

If lark were a fish, it would count :)
We definitely thought of that when we started trying to rhyme birds, and then to rhyme birds with fish.

Oooooh, I thought it was a fish o.O
