Fish can be both singular and plural.
I caught a fish. I caught three little fish. So I think your sentence is correct
Fishes is plural for different species of fish.
The same works for people and peoples. The peoples of the world....meaning different ethnic groups or nationalities.

The plural of ''fish" can be either "fish" or "fishes." So, it can be both countable and uncountable. In your example I, personally, would say "three little fish."
