No, I don't think they can be turned hostile.

Congratulation, Billy the Tamed Elephant, became the Elephant of Yester Builds, the only way to keep him from eating his masters, is to use a chain and a kobold ranger; kobolds are racially acceptable, compared to elves.
Oh, and can someone post the code for the zombie, and skeleton variations, and yes, zombie carp.

Add the trainable tag to your fish so you can have war carp; that should solve the hostility problem (at least for invaders).

You can smelt their meat or leather, or bones... no live fish.

Can you tell me the exact reactant and product entries for turning, say, giant tortoise leather into a giant tortoise shell, assuming [CREATURE:TORTOISE_GIANT] and that it is not a vermin?

[Skid]

You could probably use dwarf companion to convert generated vermin into the real thing.  You just have to save and reload your fort to make drastic physical changes take effect.

Well, when I create an embark profile with horse leather it shows as [ITEM:1:SKIN_TANNED:NONE:LEATHER:HORSE], so [REAGENT:1:SKIN_TANNED:NO_SUBTYPE:LEATHER:TORTOISE_GIANT] is a safe bet. SHELL occurs as both item and material tokens, so I'd guess [PRODUCT:100:1:SHELL:NO_SUBTYPE:SHELL:TORTOISE_GIANT]. Try it and check the errorlog.txt on compile? Also, if you make a reaction that takes stone, even stone you don't have on the map, you can view the reaction details from [z] stocks, stone, and the stone type.

EDIT: Given that PET and VERMIN both appear in the item tokens, I'm guessing a [PRODUCT:100:1:VERMIN:NO_SUBTYPE:SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT:NO_SUBTYPE] reaction would produce wild vermin.

i know you can use dfcompanion to (un)tame creatures.

I just tested this with GCS.  I deconstructed the smelter manually instead of using a cave-in.  Sadly, the result was a vermin-type GCS.  It produced webs and it was tame, but that's about it.

This is what I put in the raws for the product:

[PRODUCT:100:1:PET:NO_SUBTYPE:SPIDER_CAVE_GIANT:NO_SUBTYPE]

Hang on a second... you created Pygmy Giant Cave Spiders?  And they still spin valuable webs?  By Armok's Beard, that is a license to print socks!

There.  All you need to know about smelt fish.

[yinyang107]

There's something to be said about a game where people are having a straight-faced discussion about smelting fish and the logistical problems that come with that.

I am sigging this.

I just tested a smelter recipe that produces tame fairies, and discovered that you don't need to deconstruct the smelter. At all. When the vermin is inside the smelter, it's in the same way they're inside the farmer's workshop after milking; just assign them to a cage and one of your dwarves will move it.
