Tereza, thanks for help! I'm already modeling with na image as a
reference. My difficult, else modeling, is how do draw the tale, eyes,
and the scale, how do I get the scale texture? From a picture with
Photoshop?




Thanks

It sounds like you need to get some modeling skills. I recommend you to
get the book 3D Human Modeling and Animation by Peter Ratner and try out
the exercises on the "Beginning and Intermediate Modeling Techniques"
chapters. Despite the name you will learn how to model things other than
the human body.  They are not Maya oriented tutorials but they will
teach
you some concepts of 3D modeling. When you feel comfortable with the
techniques draw your fish from the front and side view, import your
drawings into Maya as image planes and model your fish.

I hope this helps.
