1 fish tank OR fishes' tanks?
2 fishes' and chips OR fish and chips?
3 all the eyeglasses are belong to all students in school...so those are classes' glasses OR class's glasses?

What are the correct ones?

1. Fish tank.
2. Fish and chips.
3. Class's glasses - refers to one class
Classes's glasses - refers to more than one class.

There is no such word as 'fishes' in English. The possessive form of 'fish' is fish's - "He removed the hook from the fish's mouth'.

3. Class's glasses - refers to one class
Classes's glasses - refers to more than one class. I don't think this is correct.
