Can fish survive in milk?

No, fish cannot survive in milk as it does not provide the necessary oxygen and nutrients for them to live. Fish need water to breathe and milk would not be a suitable environment for them to survive.


What are two non living things fish need?

Well, water for a start. If you don't have that, you're kind of screwed. But it all depends on the kind of fish. There are 4 main types of fish: coldwater, tropical, saltwater and marine. A filter is important as well. It removes impurities in the water and little bits of food as well. A heater is needed for tropical fish as they're used to much warmer water. Food would also be a good thing to have! Just get normal fish flakes, not the tablets. Some oxygen stones would be useful, but they're not necessary. A 10% water change is a good thing to do every week as well; it just freshens up the aquarium. You can change the water with a hand siphon; your local pet shop might have one. A net is used for moving the fish into a different container whilst you clean the aquarium. You should also consider a hell of a lot of water treatments as well, because fish can get lots of diseases. Anti-fungus, Anti-fin and tail rot, anchorworm treatment etc. are just some I can think of off the top of my head. A water conditioner is a good purchase as well, to get rid of the chlorine and chloramine as well. WATER TREATMENT IS ESSENTIAL! CHLORAMINE IS DEADLY TO FISH


Why can't whales breathe underwater?

Whales are mammals, not fish, so they need to come to the surface to breathe air through their blowholes. They cannot extract oxygen from water like fish can through their gills.


Why can't fish live out of water?

Fish cannot live out of water because they rely on water to breathe. Fish have gills that extract oxygen from water, and without water, they are unable to get the oxygen they need to survive. Additionally, their bodies are adapted to the buoyancy and support provided by water, so being out of water puts stress on their organs and can lead to suffocation and death.


How do minnow breath?

Fish have gills- thy are similar to lungs, but water gets pumped through them. Oxygen dissolved in the water transfers (in the gills) to the bloodstream of the fish, and carbon dioxide gets flushed out.
