Care of Fish

A hatchet fish can be silver or metallic with a hint of gold or green on its body. Its coloration can also change based on its environment as a form of camouflage.

minimum size of the cold water storage cistern should be 100litres but a smaller cistern (tank) will work as long as the supply (from cold main) matches the flow (all hot taps on) therefore maintainiing a reasonable level in the cwsc. So in theory you might get away with a much smaller cistern but it must be tested to prove it meets the above criteria, failure to do so could mean that the hot water storage cylinder becomes half empty or worse and the heating elements from either the immersion heater or coil (from boiler) become exposed to air (basically not heating water!) which could damage these components!!

You should look at these sites on that: http:/www.earthlife.net/fish/sexchange.html http://marine-life.suite101.com/article.cfm/many_fish_change_sex There's a few on this Google search: http:/www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=what+species+of+fish+change+sex&aq=f&oq= Try google sometime! It even looks on other search engines! But ask away here on wiki!

Snails can help by eating leftover food and algae, but they may not clean the tank entirely. It's still important to do regular water changes and tank maintenance to keep the water clean and healthy for your African dwarf frogs.

African dwarf frogs don't need a large tank. A 5-gallon tank is sufficient for a pair of these frogs. They are small and don't require a lot of space to swim and thrive. Just make sure the tank is adequately equipped with hiding spots and gentle filtration.

All mollies are quite simple to sex. If you take a look at the anal fin (the one under the belly) then the female fish's fin is like a fan shape that she will fan out and flatten from time to time. The male molly has a anal fin that is shaped like a tube or penis that can be moved away from the body and he can twist it forward to reach the female when mating. Hope this helps.

First, remove the scales by scraping them off with a knife. Next, cut off the head and tail. Then, gut the fish by cutting along the belly from the anus to the gills to remove the entrails. Finally, rinse the fish thoroughly with clean water before cooking.

The clear slime covering the bog wood in your fish tank is likely biofilm, which is made up of bacteria and other microorganisms. It is a natural occurrence in aquariums and can help break down organic matter. Regular water changes and proper aquarium maintenance can help control biofilm growth.

Fish breathe using their gills. Gills are respiratory organs that extract oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide. Water passes through the fish's mouth and flows over the gills, allowing the fish to absorb oxygen from the water.

Uhhh, it will smell if you don't change the water and it wouldn't smell as good as bleach, either. Not that bleach is all that pleasant to smell, but it's a heck of a lot better then a dirty fishbowl. Bleach would kill a fish, by the way. As would chlorine. Does your fish's bowl smell like bleach?

Yes, tadpoles can eat fish food typically in the form of pellets or flakes. It is important to ensure that the fish food is appropriate for tadpoles and does not contain any harmful additives. Additionally, supplementing their diet with fresh vegetables like blanched spinach or zucchini can also be beneficial for their growth and development.

Fish takes come in various sizes and qualities and each model costs a different amount. The best thing to do is to go the the shop and choose one, the sales person will tell you how much your chosen model costs.

Ick is white spots that look like salt on your fish. If your fish is infected, it can kill your fish. The common signs are rubbing against decor in the tank, cloudy eyes, ragged fins, rapid breathing and loss of appetite. Take your infected fish to a vet to receive medicine or use salt/heat remedies to remove it.

No, neon fish do not shrink in size. They may appear to be smaller if they are stressed or not receiving proper care, leading to a reduction in their overall health and size. It is important to provide neon fish with a suitable environment and diet to ensure they grow and thrive.

MulletFingers got bit by a cocktail dog that are very common in the caves in Florida because they love the Heat.

If you have a balanced aquarium the fish will live perfectly normally without a filter but it is hard to do. To achieve this, you would need to have the correct amount of well established plants growing, and the right amount of fish so that the plants and fish support each other. The lighting would also need to be spot on. Too much and algae will take over and too little the plants die. Then you would probably only need to top up evaporation losses and change some water when the GH starts to climb and the nitrate levels get a bit high. If you have neither a balanced aquarium nor a cycled filter, the other way to keep the fish alive is to do very regular water changes. The last method is not recommended because of the variation of the water quality. Each time the quality goes down the fish will suffer damage and that will shorten their lives and/or make them sick.

Yes, a broken light on a fish tank can usually be replaced. You'll need to find a replacement light that is compatible with your fish tank's specifications and then follow the instructions for installing it safely. It's important to take proper precautions when working around water and electricity.

Yes, a starfish has a mouth located on its underside in the center of its body. The mouth is designed to open and close, allowing the starfish to feed on various prey such as mollusks, plankton, and algae.

Jellyfish reproduction varies by species, but generally they release free-swimming larvae that settle and grow into adult jellyfish. The number of young produced can range from just a few to thousands, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Some jellyfish species also have the ability to reproduce asexually through a process called budding.

No, the scales of a fish do not fall off as they grow. Instead, the fish's scales grow with the fish and new scales are added as needed. Scales are necessary for protection and reducing friction in water.

Fish that are compatible with male bettas in a community tank are peaceful, non-aggressive species that do not resemble bettas or have long, flowing fins. Some examples include neon tetras, dwarf corydoras, and ghost shrimp. It is important to monitor their interactions closely to prevent any aggression.

Dogs take care of their puppies just as any human mother would. They feed their puppies milk, they make sure they don't stray from the litter, they separate two or more puppies when they are fighting and also clean their puppies by licking them. Dogs are also fiercely protective of their young ones and do all they can to ensure their safety, just like our parents do.

Overfishing is a problem that has led tothe decline of different (and specific) types of fish. Other problems that are caused by this overfishing include the destroying of marine habitats. With the loss of habitats and some types of fish, other marine life must migrate to another area of the ocean. Therefore, the fishing companies follow, which leads to an endless cycle.

A fish is any of a large group of cold-blooded, finned, aquatic vertebrates that respire by passing oxygenated water over gills. NO fish can breathe through lungs and ALL fish have wet scaly skin
