Can there be lead or mercury in the fish oil pills that you take for Omega-3s?
If you want to be certain, look for brands which are "molecularly distilled". They should contain no detectable levels of mercury. Yes. They can very well contain mercury (or lead), and most likely do. It does not matter if they are in detectable amounts, because they persistently increase in your body for a life-time. Both are accumulative heavy-metal toxins, so even trace amounts become large amounts in the body over time. A much wiser choice would be to use flax seed oil instead. The body converts flax seed oil into omega-3s without the risks associated with fish oils. It is best to get cold pressed oil that is protected in individual capsules from light, heat, and air. Exposure to these things makes the oil rancid and damaging to the body.
Why would a fantail fish have no tail like it has been eaten?
http://freshaquarium.about.com/cs/disease/p/finrot.htm Disease Type: Bacterial (gram negative organism) Organism: Aeromonas, Psuedomonas, or Vibrio Description: Fin rot is one of the most common, and most preventable, diseases in aquarium fish. It is caused by several types of bacteria, and often occurs concurrently with other diseases. It can usually be cured, but if left untreated, it can kill the diseased fish and infect all the others in the tank. Symptoms: Fin edges turn white Fins fray Bases of fins enflamed Entire fin may rot away The fins begin to fray and get ragged, becoming shorter over time. Usually the edges look white, and may even develop a fuzzy growth due to secondary Cotton Wool infection. A the disease advances the area may become red an inflamed, with bloody patches appearing as more of the fin is eaten away. Treatment : Correct root cause Water change Treat with antibiotics Addition of aquarium salt Fin rot is caused by one of several gram negative bacteria. Several anitiboitics are effective, however the root cause must be addressed as well. Fin rot occurs when the fish is stressed for some reason. The most common cause is poor water quality. Overcrowding the tank, feeding outdated food or overfeeding, and moving or handling the fish can also cause stress leading to fin rot. Treatment should include a water change, and careful examination of the aquarium conditions. If there is food debris, vaccumm the gravel and take care to avoid overfeeding. Start dating your fish food, as it loses the vitamin content fairly quickly after it is opened. Feeding fish fresh, high quality food, in smaller quantities is far better than frequent large feedings of stale foods. Check the pH and water temperature of the water, and make sure it is appropriate for your fish. Incorrect pH is very stressful for fish, and can lead to disease. Low water temperatures, particularly in fish with long flowing fins, can trigger fin rot. If the root cause is corrected, antibiotics will usually cure the disease itself. Use a drug that is effective against gram negative organisms. Chloramphenical, Oxytetracycline, and Tetracycline, are good choices. Treat according to manufacturers instructions. The use of aquarium salt will benefit livebearing fish, but should be avoided in fish, such as scaleless catfish, that are sensitive to salt Prevention: Maintain good water quality Keep proper water parameters Feed fresh food in small amounts The best prevention is good aquarium maintenance. Change the water regularly, vaccum the gravel, and monitor the water chemistry. Do not overcrowd the tank, and watch for signs of fighting between fish. When feeding, keep the volume low! Overfeeding is the most common mistake made by all fish owners, and contributes to poor water quality. Be sure to use fresh foods. If the can has been open for half a year, it has lost most of its nutritional value. Purchase food in small enough containers that it can be used in one to two months.

Do the people in Antarctica go fishing?

What kind of fish can sting you with its whiskers?
I am pretty sure that Catfish can sting you with their whiskers. :)
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
Yes it is even though it doesnt sound like it would be a real fish
How did sea dinosaurs become extinct?
Dinosoars became extincted from one reason. Global Warming. their bodies couldn't take it what so ever and they all died off. Some lived as in Alligators i like to say but other than that they died.

What do fish mean in the Bible?
The fish symbol now commonly used by Christians was formerly used quite widely as a sacred symbol of the female vulva. The fish Goddess, Aphrodite Salacia, was worshipped by her followers on her sacred day, Friday, when they ate fish and engaging in orgies. Just as the early Christians adopted pagan feast days in order to divert worship away from pagan deities, so they adopted the fish symbol and ate fish on Fridays, but of course did not engage in orgies. The original symbolism has long been forgotten, and the symbol is now associated by most Christians with the concept of 'fishers of men'.
