In addition to living underwater, it could hover while outside of water, and could generate an air bubble around a fully-grown adult and carry them underwater with it.

History: (Fantastic Four I#14) - After being taken over by the Puppet Master, the Sub-Mariner employed a Hypno-Fish in order to bring the Invisible Girl back to his underwater base with him. After having a Mento-Fish compel the Invisible Girl to meet him at a New York pier, Namor had the Hypno-Fish place her under its spell. He then had it surround Sue with an air bubble, and commanded it to bring her with him back to his base.

(Avengers III#6) - A Hypno-Fish wound up in the collection of Imus Champion, who kept it in an aquarium.
