Fish

The Xiphophorus helleri known also as swordtail is one of the impressive fish among the livebearers. Its tail look like a sword, his native color was metal green but today we can see swordtails in many varieties such as green, orange, yellow and the most common is the red swordtail. It requires 10 gallon tank and up, even though they can handle themselves with other fish don't keep them with tropical fish big enough to eat them, weekly water changes are needed, will appreciate plants as a hiding places in their tank.

Salmon go through several stages to become adults. They start as eggs, then hatch into alevins. Next, they become fry, then parr, and eventually smolts before migrating to the ocean. After spending time in the ocean, they return to freshwater as adults to spawn and complete the life cycle.

Yes, angler fish reproduce by external fertilization. The male angler fish is much smaller than the female and will attach itself to the female by biting onto her. The male eventually fuses with the female, sharing nutrients and providing sperm when she is ready to release eggs.

The lateral line in a perch fish is a visible line that runs along its side from the gills to the tail. It is a sensory organ that helps the fish detect changes in water pressure and movement, allowing them to navigate, school, and detect prey or predators in their environment.

Well... the white spotted puffer lives for 43 years and 27 days. It is bright purple and is called the white spotted puffer for no good reason. It also has bright blue eyes and a rainbow necklace.

Pacu fish are omnivorous and have a varied diet that includes fruits, nuts, seeds, insects, and small fish. They are known to have a particular fondness for fruits like bananas and grapes, which are often used as bait by anglers. It is important to provide a diverse diet to pacu fish to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients.

The average lifespan of a Japanese fighter fish, also known as Betta fish, is typically around 2-3 years. With proper care, a Betta fish can live up to 5 years or even longer in some cases. Factors such as water quality, diet, and living conditions can affect their lifespan.

Barracuda is a predatory fish with the word "bar" in it. It is known for its elongated body, sharp teeth, and aggressive behavior when hunting for prey in tropical waters.

No, pollock are not members of the shellfish family. They are a species of fish that belong to the cod family. Shellfish typically refer to mollusks (such as clams, oysters, and mussels) and crustaceans (such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters).

People developed fish genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to improve characteristics such as growth rate, disease resistance, and nutritional content. These modifications aim to enhance fish farming efficiency and sustainability.

This is from www.saltcorner.com: Tube worms are a variety of marine worms that live in tubes. Most of them belong to one of two large groups, which are called sabellids and serpulids, and some specimens from each of these groups can be found regularly in aquarium shops. However, as neat looking and interesting as they are, they are definitely not for everyone. The sabellid worms form a tube made of a tough but flexible material, which is sometimes coated with a layer of detritus, mud, sand, and/or small shell fragments, while the serpulids build rock-hard tubes made of calcium carbonate. Many of the "hard-tube" serpulids also produce a small plug or door-like structure, called an operculum, that they can use to seal themselves inside their tube, while the "soft-tube" sabellids do not. There are a few exceptions, but these are the general characteristics. All of these worms also have specialized structures called crowns, which are extended from the tubes to collect food particles and for gas exchange. They act like a sieve and a gill at the same time. The typically circular-shaped crowns are made up of many branches called radioles, and the radioles themselves are covered by tiny hair-like branches. Thus, many look like some sort of small fan or feather duster.

A spiny-skinned invertebrate that lives on the ocean bottom floor is called a sea urchin.

Fish head curry is a dish that originated in Singapore. It is believed to have been created by Indian immigrants who settled in the country and combined Indian spices with local ingredients such as fish heads and coconut milk to create a flavorful and spicy curry dish.

Gross.......But all you need to do is get your fish to turn it's but to something and scrap it off (i know it's weird but if you cant get your fish to do that thenjust leave it it will come off eventually) By: Expert Serena

That is part of nature's camouflage to protect the fish. The fish coloration, as you descibe it, makes it more difficult for a predator (fish or man) to see the fish from above (dark against the dark background of the water and sea or lake bottom) and from beneath (light against the light background of the sunlit atmosphere). This camouflage scheme has evolved over the centuries; those fish that were not so protected did not survive as well as those that were, and did not produce new generations as efficiently.

Fish need to descend or rise due to the temperature of which they live. They are cold blooded animals. Some fish live in very cold temperatures of water while others live in cold temperatures, but not as cold. The core of the Earth, as we know it, is filled with lava and generates heat. So the fish need to stay cold so they rise to the surface of the water, or at least, close to it. This is largely impacted by global warming.

They hide and waits for their prey to pass by.

Perch are fish so, like all vertebrates, they have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.

The practice of raising fish for food is known as aquaculture. It involves breeding, rearing, and harvesting fish in controlled environments such as ponds, tanks, or ocean enclosures. Aquaculture is an important method for meeting the increasing global demand for seafood while reducing pressure on wild fish populations.

Rainbow fish are typically found in tropical and subtropical freshwater environments, such as rivers, lakes, and streams. They are not typically found in the ocean.

Other small, peaceful fish like guppies, danios, or neon tetras can generally be kept with mosquito fish. Avoid larger or aggressive species that may view the mosquito fish as food or chase them. It's recommended to keep a peaceful community of fish that share similar water parameter requirements.

Fish are often scared of sudden movements, loud noises, and being chased or cornered. They may also be fearful of predators or unfamiliar objects in their environment.

Antarctic ice fish primarily feed on krill, small fish, and amphipods. They have evolved unique adaptations to survive in the cold waters of Antarctica, such as specialized digestive enzymes to help them digest the high-fat content of their prey.
