What vitamin does fish give you?
Fish provide people with Omega 3s. They are good for eye and skin health. Fish are also low in calories.
When you buy them, they come with a little packet of growth food, good for almost a year. You need a half-spoon of the tiny spoon it comes with, and that's it. You feed them more when the water is completely clear, every 2-5 days.
How does fish breath with lungs or with fins?
Neither, in general lungs are only good for animals that breath air and fins are used for swimming not breathing. In a water environment, oxygen exchange is accomplished using organs called "gills" and fish have gills.
Fish aren't animals like dogs, but you can train them to follow a light of your hand. You can also put food in one place and your fish will come and eat that way. Everyday your fish will come to that same exact spot ready to be fed.
Algae have the potential to turn any garden pond into a suffocating, ugly eyesore. Some types of fish, however, eat pond algae. These fish are usually bottom-feeders. The best place to find information on species that fit your needs and region is your local fish provider, pet store, or hatchery. These sources can provide information about space requirements, habitats and climate
What is vertebrates and invertebrates fish?
It is more the other way around, in that the question is better asked as, "How many fish are categorized as vertebrates". The answer to that question would be "almost all fish are vertebrates". Because most all fish do have vertebral columns (backbones/spines), internal skeletons, brains and central nervous systems located in craniums (heads) with sensory organs at the fore sections of their bodies. There are some non-bony fish, like hagfish, that are classified sometimes as invertebrates by some, but more often are classified as vertebrates even though they do not have backbones. They could technically be invertebrates. But they have the other characteristics of vertebrates and a very close genetic make up to lampreys, that are vertebrates.
How fossils of fishes and other marine animals occur at high elevations such as the Himalayas?
The Himalaya Mountains were formed by the uplifting of a crustal plate boundary (India and Asian plates), but the area had previously existed as a seabed or ocean floor. Continental drift creates changes in the landforms of the Earth's crust over many millions of years.
How do you get rid of a smell in a fish tank?
A build up of ammonia is very dangerous to your fish so do a water change, taking out about 1/3rd water change. The best thing to use is one of those suction tubes. First wash & rinse your hands well, then reach down into your tank and stir up the gravel very well. Then put the end of your cleaner suction tube right down into the water just above the gravel so that you are not sucking up gravel. Take out about 1/3rd of your water from that level, moving your suction tube all around in the lower level of your tank. Fill with water that you have had setting out for over an hour, make sure it is the same temperature as the water in the tank. Make sure to change filters & cartridges on your pumps and add an undergravel filter if you don't currently have one. No other treatments are needed.
hey so i bet ur wondering if clownfish eat seagrass i searched the whole web and found nothing i had to change the answer though because the person who originally put "only on Friday's!" so im sorry i need it for my science project to but i cant find it anywhere.
Does a fish has slimy or dry scales?
Yes. Sharks have a kind of skin teeth called denticles. That`s why a shark feels like sandpaper.
What if your spotted puffer fish is laying on the bottom and breathing heavy?
im no expert but i presume theres something wrong with it. Try going to the pet store from where u got it from and ask them. Search a smart fish site But just move it from tht position and possibly check everything in the tank is ok
No. The effect that a puffer fish usually has on other fish is so insignificant to a massive shark, it will do little to no damage to a shark, unless you are thinking of a dwarf shark. Even then, it will hurt it a little, but will not kill it, again, because of it's insignifigance.
Do salmon have a good sense of smell?
yes! they can smell the blood of their prey when they are dying, so the prey will put up much less of a fight.
i like to eat food
What do fishes use their gills to do?
Fish's gills are made up of a gill bar, gill filaments, gill rakers and gill lamellae. The gill filaments are "stacked" along the the gill bar and the gill lamellae stick out of the filaments at right angles. Deoxygenated blood is carried down the gill bar and into the gill filaments. It then flows through the lamellae and back down the other side of the filament, into the gill bar where the now oxygenated blood gets carried off for use. The way oxygen is diffused into the lamellae is through a countercurrent exchange system. The fish takes in water through the mouth, and pushes it over the the gill filaments and lamellae. The direction of blood flow through the filaments and lamellae is in the opposite direction to the water being forced over them. This means that there is always a good diffusion gradient and the maximum amount of oxygen can be absorbed. If the concurrent exchange system was used, whereby the water and blood would flow in the same direction, only about half of the oxygen in the water would be able to be absorbed. The water is now forced back out of the fish through the operculum.
Yes, both male and female betta fish bite. It shouldn't hurt you because they're too small to do any damage to you
Are puffer fish a fish or an echinoderm?
Yes they have an internal skeleton, making them vertebrates. They inflate by sucking water into themselves, filling a bladder like organ. the spines you see are not bones per say nor an exoskeleton, but rather specially mutated scales. They are not attached to the skeleton in any way.
Why should you eat meat and fish?
Humans have no biological need to consume the flesh of non-human animals. Legumes, grains, mushrooms, seeds, nuts, and vegetables have all the protein you need. Fish get their essential fatty acids from algae, and you can, too.
Most fish can be fed fish food. If not they feed on algi, a bacteria that grows on the seabed and plants or the glass walls and bottom of a fish tank.
Compare the color of the dorsal and ventral surfaces on the fish?
Frogs usually have a dark green or brown dorsal color and a white or yellowish ventral color. This helps them blend in with the water surface from above and the water surface from below as well giving protection from underwater and above water predators.
What is the most intellegent fish?
