How do goldfish breed?

You should see that the female goldfish appears fatter than usual due to the eggs she is carrying. The male will have white spots on his front fins and gill covers and will pay the female a lot of attention chasing her around the tank or pond. The female will lay her eggs on strands of pond weed which the male will fertilise with his milt. The eggs will hatch in 48 to 72 hours emerging as small fish known as fry.
They breed best in a pond. Feed them up well for a few weeks with earthworms etc and provide plenty of surface plants for them to spawn in. They will come into breeding mode as the temperature is raised up towards 70F and usually spawn at dawn.

Can people sleep with their eyes open and if so how?

Sleeping with Eyes Open

Yes they can. My Great Grandma used to sleep with her eyes open all the time. I am not for sure how she did that though.

I'm Melinda and i sleep with my eyes open. some people can sleep with their eyes partially open whereas i sleep with my eyes fully open and have fooled a few people into thinking i am awake. I don't know how i do this but i do know that it is very bad and is related to sleeping problems. Sleeping with your eyes open has long term effects. Every night your eyes dry out which is bad, this is why we blink to keep our eyes filled with moisture. Most people who sleep with their eyes open cannot enter REM and tests have been done on rats that prove without REM the rat dies shortly. You are also prone to many eye related diseases and your eyes will itch and be red all the time. Your eyes will also become glassy and irritated. Sleeping with your eyes open may just be the cause of lack of muscles in your eye area which is passed down from generations. If you do sleep with your eyes open you need to see your eye doctor because it is bad and they may be able to save you of some health problems in the future.

Sleeping with your eyes open is not some trick you can learn, it is a medical condition!

My brother sometimes sleeps with his eyes a tiny bit open at the bottom.

Can goldfish be color blind?

Can a bump on the head kill you?

not unless it is a hard bump on the head or you have some kind of disease. It all depends. Like a very hard bump on the head of a 75 year old who has heart failure.It will probably kill them. Another Answer It would depend on three things: one is where the person was hit (a person can be killed by being hit really hard on the temple) two would be how hard the person was hit (a feather isn't going to kill you) and three would be how strong the bones are. If the object is, persay, a soda, a thick-headed person wouldn't be harmed. But if the person has untreated osteoporosis, and their skull is a lot weaker, it may kill them. If a person you know has been hit on the head really hard, you wouldn't have enough time to log onto this website, but if you're planning ahead, then don't take chances! If they seem drowsy, dizzy, unable to think clearly, or if they're unconcious, take them to the emergency room right then. It does depend upon how hard of a bump, but even a relatively small one can cause internal bleeding into the brain that can lead to death. We lost a father of two when he hit his head on the sidewalk last month. He didn't think he was hurt, but died a few days later. YES The truth is that any bump on your body can kill you.But than again,a large scratch on the leg is also lethal if left unthreated.The human body is'nt designed to fix most of it's problems alone.A bump could be a harmless tumor that becomes cancerous in a couple of months,but if you had hit your head somewhere you should see a doctor NOW because it can cause internal bleeding and you will die.

Why don't goldfish have eyelids?

The main purpose of eyelids is to moisten the surface of the eye, which in terrestrial vertebrates (like you and I) is nessesary to provide the eye with lubrication to move. Underwater, the eye is lubricated by the water, and kept moist without effort, thus the eyelids are not present because they don't need to be there.

Interestingly, although it may seem that eyelids are the norm, the majority of species with eyes don't have eyelids. Insects for example.

What is the shortest measurement of time?

The smallest unit of time that has been directly measured is about 10-18 seconds.

Planck time (about 5.4 x 10-44 seconds) may be the shortest possible length of time, in principle as well as in terms of limit of measurement. It is not yet clear whether or not time is a 'quantized' concept.

Not everyone agrees on what time is. Time, however, is clearly a quantized concept. But it is sensitive to frames of reference. Consider that the GPS birds in orbit that tell us where we are via our clever gadgets are moving at orbital velocity. And their "high speed" frame of reference (compared to earth) makes "time" different for them compared to us. This must be accounted for in calculations to achieve accuracy in the computation of a location.

With the idea of relativity (which is what it's all about) kept clearly in mind, we can measure the velocity of all kinds of stuff. And do it well. But how small an interval? We can conceptualize infinitely small periods. But the shortest amount of time that we can measure is something on the order of 10 -15 seconds or so. The cesium fountain clock is the ticket to timing something that brief, but the few that exist are used as time standards and not for "timing events" or the like.

Wikipedia has knowledge for free, and a nice article on atomic clocks can be found there. A link is provided.

How do you know if a goldfish is a girl or boy?

The snail is hermaphroditic, i.e. he is at the same time male and female. Nevertheless, this hermaphrodism isn't simultaneous but proterandric: the male genital products (spermatozoa) become ripe before the genital products females. The same individual is thus able to produce spermatozoa and ovules, but the auto fecundation being impossible, he must have to mate with a partner: it's a cross fecundation.

What type of consumer is a koi?

Koi is a type of Carp and will eat anything that is on the bottom of the pond or lake. They are omnivores, just like humans. I have caught carp with worms as well as corn.

Oh, they also will eat mosquito larvae if they can catch them.
