FYI: For fish, from the linked-to site, use 2 of the defintions:

*********************************
1. Any of numerous cold-blooded aquatic vertebrates of the superclass Pisces, characteristically having fins, gills, and a streamlined body and including specifically:

a. Any of the class Osteichthyes, having a bony skeleton.

b. Any of the class Chondrichthyes, having a cartilaginous skeleton and including the sharks, rays, and skates.

...

3. Any of various primitive aquatic vertebrates of the class Cyclostomata, lacking jaws and including the lampreys and hagfishes.
*********************************



And do not use

*********************************
4. Any of various unrelated aquatic animals, such as a jellyfish, cuttlefish, or crayfish.
*********************************

They are not fish.

And if you are allowed to define something by including in the definition what it is not, then for an amphibian I'd define it as

amphibian: a non-amniote tetrapod.
