Why do your fish hide when the tank light is on?
Fish may hide when the tank light is on because they feel exposed and vulnerable. Some species prefer dimmer lighting conditions in their natural habitat, and bright light can stress them out. Providing plenty of hiding spots and plants in the tank can help make them feel more secure and reduce their stress levels.
Swordfish are found in warm and temperate oceans worldwide. While breeding they have been found as far north as Nova Scotia.
A scientist who studies fish is called an ichthyologist. Ichthyologists examine the biology, ecology, behavior, and evolution of fish species in both freshwater and marine environments. They often focus on aspects such as anatomy, physiology, and conservation of fish populations.
A fish belongs to the Animalia kingdom, as all living organisms that are multicellular, heterotrophic, and lack cell walls do. Within the kingdom Animalia, a fish falls under the phylum Chordata, which includes all animals with a notochord at some stage of their development. Within the subphylum Vertebrata, fish are classified further into various classes based on their characteristics, such as cartilaginous fish (Class Chondrichthyes) or bony fish (Class Osteichthyes).

It could just be nature taking care of the weak. My fist female molly had 12 babies and we only have 5 left. My current female molly has 36. At first we thought we had 28 and then 5 died and then we found a whole bunch more the next day! The first 11 she had were a pretty decent size but the others were sord of small. Like I said, it could just be nature taking care of the weak ones, because that is a alot of babies to nourish. Dont feel bad though. Its not your fault. =]

However, it's important to maintain a balanced diet for these fish and ensure proper tank maintenance to promote their health and well-being.

Can fish eggs be carried by duck feet to another body of water?
Yes, it is possible for fish eggs to be carried by duck feet to another body of water. Ducks are known to inadvertently carry fish eggs on their feet and feathers, allowing the eggs to be transported to different water sources. This can contribute to the dispersion of fish species to new habitats.
What is name for a genus of old red sandstone fish like creatures?
The genus of old red sandstone fish-like creatures is known as Ostracoderms. These ancient jawless fish lived during the Paleozoic era and are characterized by their bony outer covering.
How do fish breathe underwater?
Fish breathe underwater using their gills. As water passes over their gills, oxygen is absorbed from the water and carbon dioxide is released. This process allows fish to extract oxygen from the water and breathe efficiently.
What species of fish can live in a pond?
Goldfish, Comet and the London Shubunkin, Koi Carp, Golden Orfe, Rudd, Tench are all good pond fish depending on the size of pond you have available. Fish like Koi Carp need a great deal of space so check before you buy. For most other fishm allow 60sq cm of surface for every 1 cm of fish (equivalent to 24 sq. inches per inch of fish).
After the female viperfish how do they care for them?
All fish lay eggs, mammals such as dolphins carry their young and then nurse them after birth.

What do you call fish that breathe oxygen?
All fish breathe oxygen. Oxygen is one of the ingredients required to make water. So, a fish that breathes oxygen is called a fish.
Pretty much all living things require oxygen, but maybe you are talking about fish that breathe air? There are several types that can do this, including the African lungfish, several types of catfish, and snakeheads. African lungfish require air, and will actually drown in water if they do not have access to air. Anabantids like gouramis and bettas are also air-breathers. A little more about the African lungfish comment: When these were first discovered, scientists wanted to bring them back to the US for study. They would put the lungfish in shallow containers large enough for the fish to swim around in with a little airspace at the top, bring the fish home and find them all dead on arrival. The obvious conclusion: African lungfish can't be transported. Only later did scientists learn the lungfish has to approach the surface of the water at an angle in order to breathe. When they started bringing the lungfish home in deep containers--deeper than the fish are long--the fish were able to survive the journey.
Can you boil a fish that lived in a vent deep in the ocean where the water is 700 degrees?
There's no place on the planet with a temperature of 700 degrees.
I think he/she is talking about geothermal vents that can be found on the ocean floor and on the edges of islands like Hawaii (and inside my now dead Ford escorts motor, lol).
From what I've seen on various nature shows the volcanic vents add warmth and minerals to the surrounding water making it more favorable for sea life to exist there but they don't actually live in the extreme temperatures of the vent itself. Think of it as "sitting near a campfire".
There are some forms of microbial life that can exist in extreme temperatures but no fish that science knows of.
So anyway, Yes, you can boil the fish as it never really lived in the vent but rather, just close by it.
What does a fish without eyes look like?
A fish without eyes would have smooth skin where the eyes would normally be located. It may appear slightly different from other fish due to the absence of eyes, but otherwise would look similar in shape and structure.
What does the fish without eyes look like?
Fish without eyes may appear to have smooth skin or a slightly indented space where the eyes would typically be. They often rely on their other senses, such as smell and the lateral line system, to navigate and hunt for food in their environment.
Why are there fish in the trees?
Trees in the water may have fish using them for cover. Fishermen know this, as do other fish who may hunt or orient about the "structure" in hopes of having lunch swim by.
How do physostomous fish empty their gas bladder?
They relax their sphincter muscles in the pneumatic duct that connects their gut with their gas bladder. By doing that, the air will be allowed to empty out of the bladder. This reflex action is sometimes called "gas-spitting".
