Some of the adapataions that allow fishs to live in the water are gills, fins, and a streamlined body shape. The gills allow the fish to live in the water. The gills allow the fish to extract oxygen from the water. Its stream lined shape allow the fish to swim quickly through the water without having major problems. The speed of the fish helps it to out run its predator. The fins allow the fish to swim through the water and help it stear itself. Fishs also have many other adaptaions such as specilized eyes that can see in the depths of the ocean with very little or no light.

it also has scales which dont allow water to go in its body

Does the water need to be heated for a fighting fish?

fighting fish can be in temp. 70 - 80 no higher or lower and use tap water do not use bottle water fish live longer with tap water I had made that mistake by using bottle water fish did not live to long tap water fish lived over two years also if your home is warm you don't need to have a heater room temp. is fine for fighting fish If you live in a tropical, warm place like Singapore or Jakarta then no heating is needed! If you live somewhere colder then try buying a heater. Don't buy an oxygenator though it's a waste of money since they don't take air from the water but from air. My Bettas can live in either warm or cold water but recently I noticed that when I put a flat heater in the tank he would stay snugged against it.

Why can't salt water fish live in fresh water?

Saltwater fish are evolved to deal with water constantly rushing out of their bodies. The salt in the surrounding water exerts what is called osmotic pressure on the fish. Thus saltwater fish have evolved to be constantly drinking water and excreting salts. When you put a saltwater fish into freshwater, it continues to drink heavily and excreet salt. Thus the fish quickly loses too much salt, and its body begins to react accordingly; nervous impulses are unable to travel, and the fish's CNS shuts down, causing it to die. There are however many saltwater fish that are able to travel into freshwater, as they have adaptations to change their behavour and biology radically. Pacific salmon are a perfect example of this, and they are called anadromous fish. Also many species have evolved to live in brackish waters, an intermediate between salt and fresh, and can usually tolerate larger differences salinity.


If a beta fish live in the ocean what does it eat?

How is a baby fish made?

Baby fish are typically produced when a male fish releases sperm into the water and a female fish releases eggs. The sperm fertilizes the eggs, which then develop into baby fish. This is known as external fertilization, and the fertilized eggs are often left to develop independently in the water.
