Guess the fish, Win a prize.

[Abbeys_Mom]

If you guess which fish I am thinking of you can win 500 points.
Everyone may ask 3 question (for each clue, only one per post), if the answer is yes or no.
Clue One:
I am thinking of a cold water fish.

Okay, I guess I need to add more rules. One guess or question per post. You can post more then one time IF there are three other posts by different people or 24 hours between your posts. Once the fist is guessed I will restart the contest.
