Why can't you eat a salmon after it spawns?
Salmon that have spawned typically see a decline in their overall health as their energy is diverted into reproduction, leading to a change in their flesh quality that may not be as desirable for consumption. Additionally, once salmon have spawned, they begin to deteriorate quickly, leading to changes in their taste and texture.

Why is the water in your fishtank cloudy?
Sounds like whatever filtration setup you have is not enough to keep the water clean. Do a 50% water change and cut back your feedings to once per day until you pick up a better system, like a canister filter or one that hangs over the lip of the tank and has filter pads with carbon in them. Also, don't rely on quick fixes in a bottle that claim to clear your water up. You'd only be treating the symptom. Get a better filtration system.
How are fish able to breathe underwater?
Well,Fish Can Breathe Under water because, First of all fish are not mammals,and fish are put in their own group because fish have gills that give them the ability to breathe underwater. Mammals(Humans) have lungs that allow us to breath oxygen.Humans can be underwater for a short period of time because people hold their breath for short period of time.
But the answer is gills because instead of breathing oxygen, gills are made for breathing underwater,just like fish!If you catch a fish,when you take it out of the water it starts to flap,and then if you keep it out long enough,The fish will stop breathing because fish are not made for breathing air,Just like a fish gills.

No, tadpoles primarily feed on algae, plants, and small insects found in their aquatic environment. Grass is not typically a part of their diet as they are adapted to consuming softer and smaller food items.
Ideally, you collect rain water. Let it set outside where it will naturally gather dust, leaves and other natural debris. After about three weeks the water will be ideally suited to begin to grow algae which is perfect for tadpoles. The ideal container is one that is relatively shallow and offers a wide surface that can be exposed to the sun. If you have an old satellite dish, wok or similar vessel the algae will grow quickly.
Should you cover your tank for Oscar eggs to hatch?
There is no need. Breeding usually only takes place in a very large tank. Oscars are substrate spawners and will lay from 200 to 2000 eggs at a time. After three or four days, the eggs hatch. The fry is then transported to other location in order to protect them from potential predators. Oscars tend and guard their young and known to be good parents.
Is it bad if a betas gills are turning red?
Yes! Very bad! It's a sign of ammonia or nitrite poisoning. Other signs are: gasping for breath at the water surface, being lethargic, torn and jagged fins, loss of appetite, often laying at the bottom of the tank, darker coloring, red streaking on the fins or body. Ammonia ad nitrite poisoning happens when the tank isn't properly cycled or if the betta is in a tank smaller than the minimum 5 gallons bettas need and the water isn't being changed often enough.
Ammonia build up occurs when the betta breathes, poops, urinates, and when rotting food is left in the tank. Test for ammonia and nitrite levels; they should be 0. Nitrate levels should be below be below 40.
If your tank is less than 5 gallons and doesn't have a filter, then do 100% water changes more often; don't worry about nitrite or nitrate. Consider getting a 5+ gallon for your betta because they can live up to 10 years if properly cared for.

What are the characteristics of a tubeworm?
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.
