Answer:

No, surprisingly fish aren't able to get thirsty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fish are born in water and live in it their whole life, so they don't feel an urge to drink water. They're not able to consciously feel thirsty like land mammals. Its mechanism of keeping the balance of salt and water is dictated by instinct.

Hope this helps :)
