What I have to do here? ...Change the route definition order so that both the get "/:number/fish" and get "/random/fish" routes work correctly.

For this to work you need to place the /random/fish first:

require "sinatra"

get "/random/fish" do
  "I see #{rand(20)} fish!"
end

get "/:number/fish" do
  "I see #{params[:number]} fish!"
end

Cheers.
