What is the home of a fish called?

User Avatar

Asked by ZeyadHesham

That would all depend on the language you use and what you mean by a 'Fish Home'. Some fish are territorial in their 'habitat' and defend a 'territory' but most fish do not have a home as such. If however you mean what do people call a container into which they place and keep fish, then in English that would commonly be called a 'Fish Bowl' 'Fish Tank' or 'Aquarium'.

Why does mercury build up in fish?

User Avatar

When a body of water is polluted with mercury, the mercury will begin building up in every part of the water, including plants, plankton, and fish. Each part of the food chain increases the amount of mercury. Therefore, larger fish will have more mercury inside them.

Are guppies compatible with female bettas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In most cases, it is not recommended to keep guppies with female bettas. Female bettas can be quite territorial and may perceive the guppies as intruders. This could lead to aggression and potential harm to the guppies. It's generally best to house guppies with other peaceful, non-aggressive fish species.

What is the maximum amount of water a betta fish can live in by itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A betta fish can live comfortably in a minimum 2.5-gallon tank, but providing a 5-gallon tank or larger is even better. This allows the fish to swim and explore, promoting exercise and mental stimulation. The more space and clean water a betta fish has, the healthier and happier it will be.

You have 2 dalmatian mollys in a bowl do you need a tank?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, you should have a tank for your dalmatian mollys. A bowl is not suitable for a long-term living environment for fish as it lacks proper filtration, aeration, and enough space for them to swim and thrive. A tank will provide a more suitable and healthy habitat for your fish.

How do you know if the fish is going to die?

User Avatar

Asked by Anamidooooo

They often die so quickly that you might not even notice them getting ill, especially if it's something like columnaris.

Otherwise, it depends on what's ailing them. A lot of the time, their colour fades. Some fish develop dropsy (their scales stick straight out like a pine cone) which indicates organ failure, which is sure death. Others stop eating.

Can pet sea snails eat fish food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many types of snails are scavengers, and will eat fish food and any organic matter they find around the aquarium. However, many snails are herbivorous, and will ignore all food with the exception of plant matter. So it really depends on whether your snails are scavengers, predators, or herbivores.

Do betta fish need filters or heaters?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Betta fish do not enjoy currents that come from filters. You could put in a filter but I would recommend not to. Also, Heaters are unnecessary as long as you keep the water 70-80 degrees.

Can one girl betta and one boy betta be put in the same one gallon tank?

User Avatar

The male will kill the female after he spawns her. If she won't spawn he will still kill her. No male Betta will allow another Betta (male or female) to live in its vicinity. So the answer is NO.

What is the oldest Betta fish on record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To the best of my knowledge no one keep those kind of records. Bettas are mature at 12 months, past their prime at 2 years old and ancient fish at 4 if they live that long.

I have a Betta fish that is now over 5 years old because I change the water once a week with 2 gallons of purified water and I add about 20 drops of Splendid Betta Complete Water Conditioner to it. Using the water conditioner is a MUST to ensure that your Betta fish will live a very long life. I also feed my Betta fish 4 pellets of Hikari Betta Bio Gold once a day in the morning and 1 pellet at around 7pm.
