Fish
“Pescado” generally refers to fish as food, such as when talking about cooked or prepared fish dishes.
“Pez” typically refers to fish as the living aquatic creature.
The word “pez” in Spanish is singular. It refers to a single fish. If you want to refer to multiple fish, the plural form is “peces.” So, “peces” is the plural form of “pez.”
To say “The school of fish is swimming” in Spanish, you would say: “La bandada de peces está nadando.”
