You need to specify the __unicode__ method of the model holding the Fish
object.
ie:
class FishHolder(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(...)
.....
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
That should display the names instead of the ids.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I'll use regular
expressions.” Now they have two problems.
