what is the syllogism here? are you saying my picture isn't a venn diagram because i didn't use circles?

The syllogism is the combination of your two premises and your conclusion

Premise 1: All fish are mammals (all A are B)
Premise 2: Some mammals are poisonous (Some B are C)
Conclusion: Some fish are poisonous (Some A are C)

When you represent the categories in a venn diagram, you can rapidly see that the category "Poisonous" is nebulous within this logical syllogism. It's possible that all of the poisonous mammals are non-fish due to this, it's also possible that all the poisonus mammals ARE fish (which would make the syllogism true as well, although incomplete)
