Solution:

In such questions, the best thing is to assume each one of them as his sister till you can find all the conditions fulfilled. According to our assumptions, Megan is Alex's sister. We will discuss only this case therefore.

Assuming that Megan is Alex's sister, she has told a lie. This also means that Maggie is not Alex's girlfriend.
If Katie is the truth speaking girl, Megan is lying and it proves our assumption.
Now, if Charlize is Alex's girlfriend, she has also told a lie. This further tells that Katie is speaking the truth which also supports our assumption.
Maggie stated that Charlize is not his sister and that is also true because according to our assumption, Charlize is his girlfriend.

Taking that into account, we can conclude that Megan is Alex's sister and Charlize is his girlfriend.

In any other assumption, you will find the data conflicting with the conditions.

Solution:

one fish, one cat and one dog.

Explanation:
The question might appear a bit difficult in the starting but if you analyze the statements, you will realize that it is just a tricky one.

All except two were fishes and all except two were cats. With these statements we can assume that two of the animals were not fishes and two were not cats. Now one of those animals that are not fishes can be a cat and one of those two animals that are not cats can be a fish. Just carry out the same analysis for the statement that all except two animals were not dogs and you will come across the result i.e.:
In that competition, there was one fish, one cat and one dog.
