Nope. Osmosis alone would take care of that!
And many fish, including most saltwater fish, will gulp water in order to move it through their gills, so they're constantly "drinking."
Best of Luck!

don't let that other person get you sad. fish do get thirsty! they absorb the water from their skins.

I don't suppose they do but but they do have kidneys and they do urinate so therefore they need water for things other than breathing :D

Of course they do. You must add fresh water on a regular basis or the tank will dry out. Oh! and don't forget to poke holes in the backs of your frogs so they can breath.

They constantly pump water through their gills to breath and drink.
