Great movie - everyone played their role perfectly.
And NO, fish are not that smart. Some trout, maybe, but that’s just about not getting caught and eaten. Let’s see fish make a fire, use tools, etc. Ain’t gonna happen, because they lack the anatomical tools and the environment.
“When dolphins and apes start building dolphin condos and ape apartments, then I’ll think they’re smart.”
Well, what about beehives, bird nests, termite mounds, anthills, beaver dams, spider webs, etc? Architecture doesn’t have to look like human architecture to serve the same purpose.
The article actually includes an example of a fish using tools.
