What kind of fish lives by the delta fresh water fish or salt water fish?
Both kinds of fish can live in a delta area. The line between salt water fish and fresh water fish seems to be getting blurrier. Sharks and other typically salt water fish are found many miles up stream in rivers that empty into the ocean. It appears that salt water fish adapt better than fresh water fish as the fish found in fresh water are not found out at sea.
What is the difference of freshwater fish and marine fish?
Freshwater fish need regular water without salt, Marine fish need salt water. Marine fish are more colorful and interesting then freshwater fish but they are a lot harder to look after than freshwater fish. Saltwater fish need more water to swim in and are more fragile than freshwater fish.
Why can fish not live outside water?
I think you mean tap water. Tap water or pipe water as it is sometimes called sometimes has in too much chlorine. But tropical fish are still fresh water fishes. What I have heard some people do is before they introduce their pet fishes to a aquarium they fill the aquarium and leave the water for 3 days to a week and then add the fishes. This is because I think I was told it reduces the chlorine content in the water making it safer for the fish. But if you are referring to tropical fishes as fish that live in the sea. Well sea water fishes cannot live in water because sea water is not their natural habitat. The fresh water does not have in the essential components for the sea water fish to survive in fresh water. Fresh water fish cannot live in the ocean or sea either this is because the pH of the water will kill fresh water fishes. But they are brackish water fishes which can live in water that has more salinity than fresh water, but not as much as seawater.
Why can't marine fish survive at a fresh water aquarium?
Some marine fish can live in fresh water. But most marine fish are adapted to salt water; because of the salt in the water their body needs to do things differently, and they are used to being in salt water. If you put them in fresh water, their body can't do the same thing, therefore most of them die. For more information, see the related question.
What is the difference between freshwater brackishwater and salt water?
Both fresh water and salt water occur in nature, so both are natural. Note, however, that fish that live in fresh water generally cannot survive in salt water and fish that live in salt water generally cannot survive in fresh water.
Why do fish have to swim in salt water?
Saltwater fish have the same problem in reverse. For saltwater fish, the sea water contains a much higher concentration than what is in their bodies. As a result, salt leaks in and the fish has to use its kidneys and ion pumps to excrete extra salt.
Is a puffer fish a salt water fish or a fresh water fish?
it's actually both. there are fresh water puffers and saltwater puffers and brackish water puffers. the fresh water ones tend to be large (2ft for some species) for a more accurate answer i need a species name for the puffer
Where do mud fish live?
There are heaps of fish species that are commonly called "Mud Fish". Some evolved in fresh water creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds and streams, and others are from the mangroves and swamps. If you give the taxonomic name of the fish you will get more accurate information.
Why marine fish cannot survive at fresh water aquarium?
It is about osmoregulation. Salt water fish has some level of salt in its cells, which is low in concentration than marine water and more than the freshwater. If you put a saltwater fish in fresh water, excess amount of water will enter the cells of the fish and the cells rupture. This is why salt water fish cannot survive in freshwater.
Which are denser freshwater fish or saltwater fish?
Salt water is more denser because if you put fresh water into salt water than it wil be in the middle of the measurment cup so salt water is more denser .
As a fish moves from salt water to fresh water its cells do what?
As a fish moves from salt water to fresh water, its cells undergo osmosis, where water moves into the cells because the concentration of solutes inside the cells is higher than that in the surrounding fresh water. This can cause the cells to swell and potentially burst if the fish does not regulate the influx of water. To cope with this change, the fish may excrete more dilute urine to remove excess water and adjust its internal salt balance.
