I'm kind of surprised the babel fish is so low - even those unfamiliar with Hitchhiker's should know the common online translators are called babel fish.

Swimming with the fishes is an alternative to sleeping with the fishes, should probably be accepted. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/swimming+with+the+fishes

That doesn't make sense. If you're just swimming with them, what's to stop you from swimming to shore and resuming your life?

it's an idiom, so it doesn't need to make sense -- "swim with the fishes" is the more common version of the phrase afaik, so i think it should be accepted here

Technically, sailfish and spearfish are more closely related to marlins given that they are in the same family, so I think they should probably be accepted.

A sailfish is not a relative of the marlin, it IS a marlin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish

"The sailfish is one or two species of marine fish in the genus Istiophorus, which belong to the family Istiophoridae (marlins). "

Nevertheless, the original question was too toughh so I've added more to the clue.

Huh. I went to Christian schools for 12 years and to church for years after that, and I've never heard that symbol called an "ichthys symbol". Is that what non-Christians call it?

It's the simple fish drawing, commonly put on car windows and such. Probably a difference in denominations. And the fact that they don't teach that stuff in schools, or certain churches. If you look around while in a car, you'd eventually sea one.

icthys just means 'fish', so it's really just saying fish symbol

I know what it is! You can't be a Christian without seeing it and learning its history. I've just never heard anyone call it an "ichthys symbol". It sounds like something a theologian would call it. Or, more likely, a paleontologist.

Friend, I'm sorry to say this, but...

Not all sea stars have five arms. A better term might be "radially symmetric echinoderm".
