AFIK, there is only one fish bottle worth more than a dollar or two -- it is embossed in a quarter-circle around the fish's operculum, THE FISH BITTERS / W. H. WARE / PATENTED 1866.
Charles Gardner had three in his collection, in three different colors, but from the same (or similar) mold. Sorry, Kim, it is not your fish.
I think there are quite a few different fish figural bottles around. I imagine they are being produced somewhere even as I write this. As I said, they are worth only what you can get a willing buyer to pay -- not more than a few dollars.
