Do fish get thirsty?
Freshwater fish absorb water & do not drink, but saltwater fish must drink water & are able to filter out and excrete the salt.

By a process called osmosis, fish lose lots of water into the sea. To stop them from dehydrating, bony fish drink lots of water.

Fish drink lots of water. They pump the salt out of their bodies. I imagine if they didn't drink water, they would be thirsty.

Some marine (not freshwater) fish must replace body water to maintain a sodium balance. That is as close to 'thirst' as they get.

About Water
Water is by far the most important substance on Earth. Water covers over 70 percent of the planet and makes up between 50 and 75 percent of the human body. In fact, it's one of the only things we are positive needs to be present for life to exist. When scientists look for life in our solar system and on exoplanets, they are looking for liquid water.
