Because water has the atom formula h20 which means 2 bits of hydrogen and 1 bit of oxygen, the fishes gills filter the oxygen out of the water and then puts it into the blood stream. You would then think that fish would die because the water would just be hydrogen but oxygen would be absorbed from the waters surface.
This means that if you see a fish putting its head above the water for no apparent reason it means the water is not oxygenated enough.
hope this helps.
Sharks breathe through their gills, just like fish.
Method of Breathing was created in 2002.
Same as all the other fish. Water over gills, gills pull out needed gases and dispose of waste gases.
To determine if your fish is sleeping or dead, observe its breathing and movement. If the fish is still breathing and shows some movement, it is likely sleeping. However, if there is no movement and the fish is not breathing, it may be dead.
Fish breath underwater
The Buteyko method strives to remove the bad habits of over-breathing and to replace them with new habits of slower, shallower breathing, called "reduced breathing."
As the temperature changed, the fish's breathing rate increased or decreased accordingly.
It's a method that is used for catching Fish
Mammals, birds, reptiles and adult amphibians breathe using lungs. Fish breathe using gills, while juvenile amphibians breathe using gills and spiracles.
No reptiles are air breathing, cold blooded, egg laying animals. Fish are not air breathing.
Are you sure the fish is breathing? On most cases if the fish is upside down it means the fish is dead, but might also be that the fish is ill, so go to the vet! :)
The smaller the size of a tropical fish the faster their breathing rate will be. The smallest fish will have the fastest breathing rates.
