What is the function of a swim-bladder?

Can your fish die of Swimbladder Disease?

Yes

What are the common symptoms and treatment options for fish suffering from swimbladder problems?

Common symptoms of swimbladder problems in fish include difficulty swimming, floating upside down, or sinking to the bottom of the tank. Treatment options may include adjusting the fish's diet, using medications, or performing a procedure to release trapped air from the swimbladder. It is important to consult a veterinarian or fish expert for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Why do goldfish float to the top if they are not dead?

A common cause of this in living goldfish is a condition known as swimbladder. The swimbladder controls buoyancy, if there's a problem with it the fish may float to the surface. You can get treatment for it at a pet shop, usually drops that you add to the water. Hope this helps!

What is the reason for red and tender stomach in a flowerhorn fish with swimbladder disease?

Hello, I hope you were able to treat your fish. My bonsai flowerhorn has the same problem, but I think it is because she bumped herself on to a rock, while she was suffering from swimbladder disease or bacterial infection. If you got answer from some other source, can you please mail me at shami.thoke@gmail.com, or post it on the forum? Thank you, Shami.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fishing?

AdvantagesOne clear advantage of having a swimbladder is that little to no extra energy is necessary in order to remain stationary at a constant level of water. Only a slight control by use of the pectoral fins is required to balance out the propulsive force of water exiting the gills. Fish with no swimbladder on the other hand, such as mackerels, sharks, and rays must expend energy by constantly swimming in order to keep from sinking.Another advantage of swimbladders is oxygen storage. Physoclists and physostomes alike may occasionally use the oxygen present within their bladder as an emergency backup in times of urgent need, although, this emergency store can only be of aid for a few minutes (Jones 1957).Finally, swimbladders in some fish are known to increase hearing abilities. With the presence of inner ear- swimbladder connections, these fish have exhibited greater sensitivity to sound, however it is not yet clear whether there is also an increase in frequency selectivity (Coombs & Popper 1982a)DisadvantagesOne disadvantage of having a swimbladder is that neutral buoyancy can only be achieved at a small range of depths specific to certain fishes. If a fish swims below its buoyancy range, it will have to expend greater energy in the exercise of swimming in order to keep from sinking. On the other hand, if a fish swims above its upper buoyancy level, it becomes overly buoyant. Its swimbladder would expand to such a great capacity that the fish might be thrown out of control if it does not compensate for this increased buoyancy by vigorously swimming downward. The fuller the swimbladder gets, the more tipsy the fish is-- much like a large helium balloon. Therefore, many fish that do not have a swimbladder, such as the Atlantic mackerel, have greater depth flexibility and speed in moving through columns of water. A swimbladder would only serve as a constraint for these fish which are continuously active predators (Schmidt-Nielson 1997).One other disadvantage of having a swimbladder is that oftentimes the bladder serves as an acoustical target which sounds can be bounced off of. This might enable predators to more easily locate the fish (Schaefer & Oliver 1998).

Does a perch have a lung and gills?

No, they have gills to extract oxygen from water. and since they do that i do believe that they stay on the bottom or reef of the ocean or wherever they live!

What are the advantages and disadvantages of fish preservation?

One advantage of fish preservation is that it helps extend the shelf life of fish, allowing for transportation over long distances without spoilage. Another advantage is that it can help maintain the nutritional value of the fish for longer periods. However, some disadvantages of fish preservation methods include potential changes in texture and flavor, as well as the use of chemicals or additives that may not be desirable for health reasons.

My stained glass tetra won't eat so how do I get it to eat if it just stays at the bottom?

you should check if it is swimming on it's side because it could have SwimBladder overload. or you can move it to a new habitat, it is probably uncomfortable in it's location.

Does the swimbladder spread to other fish?

A swim bladder is an organ in certain fish to help them stay buoyant. Examples of fish with a swim bladder are goldfish, betta fish, and chiclids. It works something like the lungs of mammals. Since it is an organ, it cannot spread to other fish.

What body characteristics allow the shark to move?

Dorsal and pectoral fins balance the shark, the swimbladder controls height, and the tail propels the shark forward. Some sharks (such as the thresher and mako shark) specialize in select body parts for increased evolutionary advantage based on biome and the prey the specific shark consumes.

Should goldfish food be soft or hard?

Generally, it is better for goldfish to eat food that is soft. For one, it's easier to chew and digest, and it eliminates the risk of choaking. Also, for fancy goldfish, especially the egg bodied kind, it also lowers the risk of the fish becoming constipated or developing swimbladder problems.

A formula prewritten by excel is called?
