As much as I like fishes and care for them, they aren't that "intelligent". It's anthropomorphism to say that they are artistic. This is the result of million of years of evolution, this build is made automatically, and is optimised for the female to lay eggs. We, humans, interpret it as art, when in reality it's a comportement motivated for reproduction. But don't get me wrong, it's still pleasent to see, and very cute imo.
