How do you puff a puffer fish?
Yes, you can. But you shouldn't. Puffers only "puff" when they are in an extremely stressful situation they feel is "life or death". If a puffer puffs air instead of water they can have a hard time deflating, which can result in death for the puffer.

Fish are vertebrates as they have an internal bony skeleton and a spine.
Its favorite food is "Krill". An Adult blue whale can kill upto 40 million krill per day. They can eat nearly 3500 kilograms of krill in a single day. They need nearly 1.5 million kilocalories of energy per day and so, they nearly eat nonstop. Small fish, crustaceans and squids too get caught when they trap krill in their mouth.
They scoop up large quantities of water into their mouth along with krill and other small aquatic creatures and then filters and push the water out. All remaining animals are swallowed.

What do you do if your female Siamese fighting fish start eating each others fins?
If you want to get a male fighting fish it is best to have them in a small tank alone because they are quite aggressive and can kill or harm other fish, even their own kind.
Females can sometimes be kept together in groups of four or more, although it is best to only do this once you get to know your fighting fish a bit better and understand their temperaments.
Before you get your fish clean out their tank/bowl (It is best not to use any chemicals because they can toxicate the water). Fill the tank/bowl with fresh rain water, as in some towns the tap water contains many harmful chemicals for a fish. It is good to add a few drops (following the directions on the bottle) of water treatment, to neutralize the chemicals in the water and make sure that it is well balanced for your fish. You can buy water treatment (sometimes known as conditioner) from your local pet store (the one you got the fish from).
Fighting Fish are quite intelligent, and, just like humans, can get bored easily. A few tank decorations are perfect for keeping your fighting fish happy and occupied. Here are some ideas for decorating the tank:
- Make an interesting backdrop for the tank, to brighten it up. You could make a collage with cutouts from magazines, or just draw a scene for the background.
- Fighting Fish will love a few plants, as they are great for hiding in and make the tank a lot more interesting.
- Putting pebbles on the bottom of the tank is a good idea because they will hide all of the dirt, waste, and unwanted food for a while!
- Believe it or not, Fighting Fish enjoy toys, such as a ping pong ball that will float on the surface and that they can push around with their noses.
- Fighting fish also love bright colours and shiny objects to explore. What I have done with my Betta is wrap marbles in the colourful, shiny Easter egg wrappers, and my fish loves it!
- A few interesting shells or non harmful objects can make your tank look great and captivate the attention of your Fighting fish for years!
If you live in a particularly cold place, it is a good idea to set your tank up with a heater, because during the cold weather the fish will become very inactive and perhaps sick with the cold water.
Bettas can live in small bowls, but you need to do several things. 1) In anything less than 5 gallons, they will require 25% daily water changes and 100% every week. This is to keep ammonia levels down. Bettas constantly release their waste into the water as ammonia, which can kill them and burn their fins away. It takes a little more than a day for ammonia to reach a dangerous level in a 1 gallon, so please keep up with daily water changes. 2) Bettas are tropical fish and need a constant temperature between 76-82* F. you NEED to buy a water heater, or your fish will become lathargic, more prone to disease, and die. Bettas are very hardy fish and can live for upwards of a year in cold water with dangerously high ammonia levels, but can live for 3-5 years if you are willing to spend the $17 dollars for a preset heater at Wal-mart (unless you go with a bigger tank, then invest in an adjustable heater from a pet store) and take 5 minutes out of your day to change his water so its not poisoning him. Please see bettafish.com for more info on proper care for betta fish.
Feeding: I give my betta food named betta bites, they are good for the fish and he seems to like them. Sometimes bettas get picky about food and so was mine at first but then they get used to it. Some bettas will eat fish flakes, but the pellets made especially for the betta are the best for them and they also revive the colour in the betta. If your fish doesn't eat them at all try a different food. You can give them 2-3 pellets for starting, then you can go up to four pellets when your fish gets a little older and you can feed him twice a day.
How to feed them: You put your finger at the top of the bowl and when the fish comes to your finger drop the pellet and he eats it. Make sure not to feed the fish right away because you want them to swallow it, right? That's about it for this part and here is a thing you need to be cautious about when you clean the bowl.
Why is the fish staying at the bottom of the tank?
I do believe that it will be in a stage of rigamortis and will soon start to go solid. If left for more than three hours there is no chance of reincarnation. If however you lick its left eye within three hours of rigamortis then it shall come back to life.
Do all fish lay eggs outside their body?
One animal that lays hard shelled eggs is a chicken, and Robin
Elephants will grow throughout their life. Between the birth and age 20 is the fastest time a elephant will grow. After age 20 elephants grow much slower.
Can you own a stingray fish in my home?
Under new legistrations unless you have a registerd marina with correct licensing you are not able to keep a manta ray as a pet, nothing to say you couldnt without anyone knowing but these elligant creatures require alot of work and room to live...you could not put one in a tank unless it was the size of one in sea world.
Why is it that people cannot breathe under water but a fish can?
we need oxygen to survive while fish need water.
What is the function of a pedicellariae on a star fish?
Pedicellariae protect sea urchins by snapping open if something touches its outer surface. If it is touched on its inner surface then it snaps shut. They can be toxic because some have poison glands inside of them. They are attached to the stalks at the base of the spines that cover the sea urchin.
How do electric eels use their intelligence?
They use electricity to sense there prey because they have bad eyesight.
Can fish eggs hatch in a pond?
Yes fish eggs will hatch in ponds.You have to make sure there is vegetation in the pond so the eggs can sink down into it and be hidden from hungry fish.
What the pH should be in water for tropical fish to survive?
Different varieties of fish thrive best in different pH readings. In general, a community tropical aquarium should be kept around 7.0; goldfish and livebearers such as guppies like 7.5; angelfish and tetras, 7.2-7.5; mollies and swordtails, 7.2 to 7.5. Your best bet is to buy a pH test kit from the pet store and test the pH in your tank's water. However, I find that my tanks maintain good pH just with regular maintenance, so I don't test pH unless I suspect a problem.
