How Do Fish Know Which Way to Swim?

Fish use their body and special senses to know which way to swim. Like a compass, they can feel water moving around them. If the water pushes against one side of their body more than the other, they know which way to go. Some fish even have tiny parts in their heads that help them sense where they are. It's like having an invisible map inside their brain!
