Malaco still sells wine gum Swedish Fish in Sweden, where the candies are called “pastellfiskar” (translation: pale-colored fish).

The tail fin (called the caudal fin) is the main source of movement for most fish. It's like the motor on a boat. It shouldn't be surprising then, that it is shaped differently according to how the fish needs to move most of the time. This helps the fish to move more efficiently through the water.

The caudal fin, or tail fin, is located at the end of a fish and provides the power to move a fish forward. It also acts like a rudder to help a fish steer. Caudal fins come in a variety of shapes – forked, heart-shaped, square or rounded. The shape corresponds to the cruising speed of the fish.

The Swedish Fish candy is marketed under the name "pastellfiskar", literally "pastel fish", and under the Malaco brand among others. The fish-shaped candies are also part of a Malaco bag of mixed candy called Gott&blandat.

The fish-shaped candies - called "Swedish Fish" because, well, they were Swedish and the fishing industry in Sweden was very large - were developed specifically for the U.S. and Canadian markets and proved almost immediately popular. Swedish Fish then became firmly entrenched in U.S. candy culture in the 1960s and '70s.

Fins are distinctive anatomical features composed of bony spines or rays protruding from the body of Actinopterygii, Dipnomorpha, Actinistia and Chondrichthyes fishes. They are covered with skin and joined together either in a webbed fashion, as seen in most bony fish, or similar to a flipper, as seen in sharks.

The top fin or dorsal fin is also used in balance but its main function is usually protection. The ventral fin and anal fin are located on the bottom or belly of fish and help with steering as well as balance. The tail fin, also called the caudal fin, helps propels fish forward.

Tails: Fish tails also take many shapes. A crescent-shaped tail, like that of the swordfish, allows the fish to swim rapidly through the water. A forked tail, like that of the trout, can also allow fast swimming. A rounded tail, like that of the angelfish, enables quick bursts of speed to escape predators.

What's the story behind Swedish Fish? Swedish Fish were invented by the Swedish company Malaco in the 1950s in an attempt to expand into the US market. It is thought that Malaco made the sweets fish-shaped because at the time Sweden had a thriving fishing industry, and everyone associated Sweden with fish!
