They should be with there own kind however some fish just need to be with other fish. Usually fish that school need to be with their own species to actually school. If fish are similar in size, shape, and mannerisms often times they will school together. If you are buying a schooling fish just go ahead and get at least six of the same kind. If you want two different kinds, get two groups of six or more, and so on. Always provide sufficient space. they surive alot better kept in schools but they can survive with out them

Why do the fish at the aquarium always seem to be swimming in the same direction?

Probable because they are schooling fish. Schooling fish stay together in groups so that it is harder for predators to get at them I think. Some schooling fish actually have to stay together in groups or else they will get sick, so if you have, or are going to get a tank, make sure you get enough. Or, they might not be schooling fish, and might just be scared!


What is a group of closely relates organisms that cannot mate?

A group of closely related organisms that cannot mate are considered different species. Species are defined as groups of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring with one another. When individuals from different groups are unable to produce viable offspring due to genetic differences, they are considered separate species.

The evolution of reproductive isolation between two or more groups of organisms is?

The origin of new species. To be considered a member of a singe species, organisms must be capable of reproducing and producing viable offspring. Once they have evolved to become reproductively isolated, they can no longer fulfill these requirements and are considered separate species.

When members of 2 separated groups of a population can no longer interbreed the 2 groups are members of different?

When members of two separated groups of a population can no longer interbreed, the two groups are considered members of different species. This reproductive isolation can occur due to various factors, such as geographical separation or differences in mating behaviors. As a result, genetic divergence occurs, solidifying their status as distinct species. This process is central to the biological species concept in evolutionary biology.


Two groups of organisms that differ from one another in one or more characteristics and do not hybridize extensively if they occur together in nature are considered to be different what?
