The short answer is - they don't ! In most species, once the baby fish hatch from the egg, they're left to the mercy of the sea. However - there are one or two species that actively gather the young 'fry' into their mouths at the first sign of danger.

My rabbit just had a baby a few hours ago and she is not really taking care of them?

Actually if it seems she is not caring for them then you just may not have caught her on her babies. Some mothers will stay on there babies just long enough to feed them and then get off again. It is okay to touch the babies because even if your sent is on them she will take care of them. The only time a mother will not take care of her babies is if you touch a wild rabbits babies. Just keep an eye on them and check them every day. If they start to get thin or cold then there will be need for panic. Other wise sit back and relax.


What can eat a fish?

Fish in aquariums eat fish food found in any pet or fish store. Fish in the wild mostly eat smaller fish and small particles in the water. Some types of fish living in aquariums also eat smaller fish. Often, fish will eat their own babies so aquarium owners know they must move babies to a smaller fish bowl or tank to protect the babies from the adults.

Firstly, to calm it down, just give it a bit of fish food. Secondly, if it's wild, and it's big, then give the fish a bit of space so maybe buy him a large fish tank and some decorations for him to play with. Thirdly, let him him have a bit of time by himself just to relax and get used to his surroundings. I hope this info helps!
