Whales are mammals which means that they have lungs. Fish do not have lungs, they have gills.
Whales also have a different way of swimming than fish. They move their tail fin up and down to move forward. While fish move their tail fin left to right to move forward.
Whales also communicate with each other through whale songs. Fish cannot.
