Fish do not have noses, but they do have nostrils that are used for smelling and not for breathing
The purpose of vibrissae in your nostrils is to help keep larger dust particles and other objects from going deeper into your nose.
It is said that the average human has four nostrils. You can only see two of them though; How do you think we breathe in through our mouths? Fish have a set of nostrils to breathe in, and "exhaust pipes". If we evolved from fishes then that means we still have another pair of nostrils. While we evolved, they went back into the head to become internal nostrils-allowing us to breathe in through our mouths. To smell things we only use our external ones though. Apparently
Yes. Their mouth and nostrils need to be kept somewhat moist, and mucus is secreted to serve this purpose.
What do clown fish eat?
The purpose of slime coating is to protect the fish against disease, infection and minor damage.
A horse has two nostrils.
