Triggers, Puffers, & Sunfish

Although it seems unlikely, these fishes are all related in the Order Tetraodontiformes. Common characteristics include:

teeth fused into horny beaks
tough leathery skin
swimming primarily with dorsal and anal fins rather than tail
pelvic fins lacking

They are all also possessed of rather higher intelligence than most fishes.
