"Non-tetrapod fish" sounds a bit ridiculous to me, though...

To me too. :-) The word 'fish' is very vague, and its meaning varies widely according to context. Try "non-tetrapod osteichthyan" or "non-tetrapod sarcopterygian" instead. Though technically correct, "non-tetrapod osteichthyan" is not used very often, though I've seen "non-tetrapod sarcopterygian" used many times in the literature.

Cheers

Tim
