I saw an interesting video on YouTube showing how I might get more sleep on some days if I get a fish. How?
“Fish” in the sense of an aquatic animal? Some item that resembles or represents such an animal without literally being one? Or is the word being used in some other sense altogether (e.g. a mark for a conman)?
If it’s the animal, would you be getting it as a pet? To eat?

Would you be getting the fish instead of getting something else?
No

Is Billy being used to scare off some animals who would otherwise make noise and wake you up?
