If I can win a few MTT's then another fish can also win.

Not all sharks there) especially at the micro limits. At first in my career I reach the top 40 in the "Big" tournament, knowing only how to gather the combination. Sharks goes to final table bit more often than fish

It depends...but generaly yes,a fish can reach a final tables...cuz us,regular players won`t call n ll in from a bd spot but a fish will do...i go on 70 from 13k players in BB 3,30 with 77 ...he opened UTG+1 with K 4 off 2 players called i shove in button and he called me with K 4 off with 2 ppl behind him :) nd ofc he got a king...s i remember he finished 2 or 3...so..at low stackes everything is posible :)

Depends on the tournament level. With some luck, you may win everything. But for a long period if the guy, defined commonly as a fish, will have some tough days playing poker.

Yes... why not? As long as the player is not so tight that they cannot realistically ever gain chips, there is always a chance of fish being at the final table. If you look at the final table replays of the Storm or any other low stakes tournies, you'll see that a lot of players at those final tables are not very competent at all. For sure, the final table of a tourney is usually pretty tough, but anyone can still win. That's what keeps the game alive! If fish were never able to win then the game couldn't really work.

Lotta crazy stuff I've seen at them FTs :p

Watch the FT replay of the Sunday Million each week and you will answer your own question. :p

There is skill in successfully playing many tournaments, but there is a lot of luck in a single tournament.

Good luck to you! :D

If the player has reached the final table and at the same time at the table behaves like a fish, it does not mean that it is a fish. He could play the whole tournament nomalno. In general, the fish is difficult to get the last table.

i think if you play tight as a fish with couple of suck oouts you can make it there. but then again fish are the hardest to predict. obviously if they are in a smaller table with 3 sharks and a fish he wont last long but in a 8 player table its not bad

One mans fish is another mans shark. Just because someone calls you a fish that doesn't mean you are. That being said even a fish makes a final table if he bribes the poker gods he might even win. As well I've seen sharks be among the 1st out of a tourney. It is all a mystery of the game I guess. :D:D

Sure they can some fish play very tight and aggressive and if the players misread him he can win several hands and even the tournament

Unless your playing poker everyday at the highest levels then you're a fish. Still work a job 9-5 with a boss, you're a fish. Still driving that little 4 door from 8 years ago, you're a fish. Vacation at lake with your extended family, you're a fish. Grind away at any and every game that you can find, then you're a fish.
BTW, I'm a fish
If someone calls you a fish then they are trying to tilt you or an 8 year old kid playing on daddy's account. (guess what? he is a fish)
