It's just.....what they do, they get larger as you hit them, til they explode, and try to take you down with them, you just need to make sure you kill them on or before the 3rd hit, best off not using physical attacks and using blizzard.....
Not sure what fish you speak of though...

Like Bambi said, Bombs get bigger after they are attacked. If you don't kill them in three turns they use self destruct. This should be no problem though because you should be able to kill them easily enough with just physical attacks. If you're really struggling, you can always summon Shiva.
I think I know what fish you speak of, though the name escapes me. And when they get bigger they are much stronger so it's best to finish them off quickly, before they grow if possible. If you really struggle, I suggest avoiding the beach area. You can always use Quezacotl though, I expect lightning is their weakness.
Fasticolon F's? Or something....
Don't they stay under the sand and then appear? They're pretty simple to kill. Thunder works well, but I found I was able to take them out in a few physical hits.
As for the bombs, I think you can draw blizzard from the Fasticolons on the shore. Grab some and just freeze em up a bit. Shouldn't be too difficult so long as you kill them quick.
Hal's suggestion of using Shiva if it gets a bit sticky is a good one too.

Bombs do it because they're going to Self-Destruct, blah blah blah.
The fish you're talking about are indeed Fastiofalchion-Fs. The deal with them is this: they begin the battle hiding in the sand, where physical attacks deal much less damage. Once you damage them enough, they pop out of the sand and you can actually kill them. Quetzcoatl works wonders against these guys, but you always have to hit them at least twice regardless of the strength of your hits (they have to pop out first). These guys provide 5 AP though, if memory serves, so it's worth it to fight them since that's the best source of AP at early stages of the game. Also, they drop Fish Fins which refine into 20 Waters with Shiva's Mag-RF ability.
