Could youShow picture of abalone?
I'm unable to show pictures as I am a text-based assistant. However, you can easily find pictures of abalones by doing a quick search on the internet. Abalones are marine snails known for their colorful iridescent shells.
Gold fish will swim upside down if they have a swim bladder infection, try feeding it fish food that sinks because, when it eats food at the top of the tank it swallows air that goes to it's swim bladder causing it to go upside down at the top or bottom of the tank.
Hope I Helped :)
Does a fish drown if you pull it backwards in the water?
Sharks cannot swim backwards. Unlike the fins of telelosts (bony fish), sharks' pectoral fins do not bend upwards, and so they are unable to back up. Sharks are also unable to stop swimming suddenly.
The poisonous fish that can swallow water in order to double its size is also known as what?
The fish that can swallow water to double its size and releases a toxin when threatened is known as the pufferfish or blowfish. This behavior is a defense mechanism to appear larger and deter predators. However, consuming certain species of pufferfish can be dangerous or even deadly due to their toxic flesh.
What is the lifespan of a freshwater parrot fish?
Freshwater parrot fish typically have a lifespan of 5-10 years in captivity. However, factors such as diet, water quality, and tank size can influence their longevity.
What happens if you do not give a fish food?
If a fish is not given food, it will eventually become malnourished and weak, leading to health issues and possibly death. Fish need a balanced diet to thrive and grow properly. It's important to feed your fish regularly with appropriate food to ensure their well-being.
The fish commonly breaded, fried, and caught barehanded in the US South is the catfish. Noodling is the practice of catching catfish by inserting one's hand into their hiding spots to lure them out. It is a traditional and often risky fishing method.
Where is the largest aquarium in the US located?
The Virginia Aquarium is the largest in the United States.
Scalloped edges and ruffled collars were features of what 1930's items?
Scalloped edges and ruffled collars were common features of 1930s dresses and blouses. These design elements added a feminine and romantic touch to the clothing of that era, showcasing the popular style of the time. They were often seen in day or evening wear for women in the 1930s.
How many gallons of water does the Tennessee aquarium holds?
The Tennessee Aquarium holds approximately 600,000 gallons of water. It is one of the largest freshwater aquariums in the world and is home to a variety of aquatic species.
How many visitors does Monterey Bay Aquarium receive yearly?
They can get as many as 15,000 visitors a day!
No, jellyfish are not prokaryotic. Jellyfish are eukaryotic organisms, meaning they have complex cells with a true nucleus and other organelles. Prokaryotic cells, on the other hand, are simpler cells that lack a true nucleus and organelles.
Oscar do have teeth, but it's not the type of teeth that we are normally used to seeing. They have teeth deep in their jaws as they are very small and sharp and are used for grasping those in the throat. However, this does not mean that you should be afraid to put your hand in the tank, as a small nib wont do any harm. I don't suggest sticking your finger down their throat.
Is there fish scales in chapstick?
Most chap sticks do contain fish scales. Ones without color dyes or lip tint infused should not contain them
How Step to make aquarium in bottle?
this is usually not a good idea due to a lack of surface area, filtration, and heating. however, you could use a clean 2 liter bottle and put in gravel and an airstone. this would allow you to grow a java fern or anubias in parcial light, as well as maybe keeping a ghost shrimp usually used as live food. i am assuming you mean a 2 liter coke bottle. with a neck diameter of an inch, it might be hard to put anything in but gravel and water. however if you were to cut off much of the top you would have better access and surface area. you could just cut ut halfway to make it swing open for maintenence.this way you could install a diy undergravel filter and raise a betta, provided you do regular water changes.
Yes, bettas can regrow their fins if they have been damaged or torn. This process, known as fin regeneration, can take time and requires a clean and stress-free environment to ensure the betta can heal properly. Proper nutrition and water quality are essential for a betta to regrow its fins successfully.
What does it mean when a betta fish lays down at the bottom of the fish bowl on its side?
A betta fish laying on its side at the bottom of the fishbowl could indicate illness or stress. It may be suffering from a swim bladder issue, which affects its buoyancy. Immediate attention from a vet or a specialist in fish care is recommended to diagnose and treat the problem.
If a bubble-cheek fish has one of its bubble-cheeks popped will it survive?
Yes, it will survived based on my experience... 9 weeks ago, one of my regular gold fish attacked my bubble cheek fish and popped its cheek, he kept on swimming a little side way, and looked like he was going to belly up, but so far he's alive, and the cheek regenerated again... my 5 year old is very happy.
thanks,
C & D :-)
How often do you clean a betta fish tank?
it really depends on the size of your tank and the capacity of your filter....i have a 10 gallon tank and a 10-20 gallon filter so i clean mine once every 2 weeks...if you want your tank to remain crystal clear all the time, clean it once a week....mine gets a little bit cloudy by the end of 2 weeks.....really its up 2 you but atleast 1 every 2 weeks is recommended....
How many eggs do Portuguese Man of War lay?
Portuguese Man o' War do not lay eggs. They are marine animals known as siphonophores, made up of different specialized animals called zooids working together as one organism. They reproduce by releasing sperm and eggs into the water for external fertilization.
How many gills slits do a spiny dogfish have?
Spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias (also known as spurdog, piked dogfish and a number of other names) has five gill slits, all situated in front of the pectoral fins. This is according to Fishes of the Sea by John and Gillian Lythgoe (Blandford Press, 1991). The FAO FishBase (www.fishbase.org) is a good source of information on this and many other species of fish.
Can you have a pet squid in America?
Having a pet squid in America is not common due to the challenges of providing a suitable environment and care for them. Squids are complex marine animals that require specific conditions to thrive, such as large tanks with proper filtration and feeding live prey. Additionally, some species of squids are protected or regulated under wildlife conservation laws, making it illegal to keep them as pets.
A flounder's color can vary depending on its surroundings and species, but they typically range from brown, green, to grey to help them blend in with their environment on the ocean floor.
Difference between frog and tadpole?
Frogs start out their life as eggs. A female frog lays the eggs, and a male frog then fertilizes the eggs. The fertilized eggs will generally take one to three weeks to hatch. What hatches from the eggs is called a tadpole. As the tadpole ages and matures, it goes through a process called metamorphosis. Throughout this phase, the body of the tadpole gradually transforms into a frog.
- Diet
When the tadpole first hatches, it is too frail to find food on its own. Luckily, the remainder of the yolk from its egg is in its stomach when it hatches; this sustains the tadpole for its first week of life. Once it develops strength and coordination, the tadpole will begin to feed on algae and other underwater foliage. At around two months into its life, its diet of plants is supplemented by bugs and small organisms.
Soon after, the tadpole becomes a frog. Young frogs will still eat a diet that includes algae and foliage. As they mature, they become better at hunting live prey. Eventually, the staple of the diet of a frog is bugs and worms. A frog's sticky tongue traps insects. Though their diet consists mainly of bugs, some frogs have been known to eat small fish.
A tadpole starts out as a body mass with an elongated tail. As metamorphosis takes effect, it begins sprouting legs and arms and grows small teeth that allow it to eat algae and small bugs. The body elongates, and the tail shrinks. The main difference, however, in the body structure of a tadpole is that it has gills. Gills allow the tadpole to breathe underwater. This is important because it does not have legs and arms yet, or the muscular structure to support itself on land.
Frogs have a strong muscular structure that allows them to be mobile both on land and in the water. Their hind legs are long and powerful, and their feet are webbed for greater swimming efficiency. Most importantly, mature frogs breathe through lungs instead of gills. Mature frogs can no longer breathe under water.
Tadpoles have one way of moving: swimming. Tadpoles will stay in the water until they evolve into frogs. Young tadpoles are not very proficient swimmers and attach themselves to foliage until they are more developed. As they mature, the tadpoles begin to learn to swim by moving their tails back and forth.
Frogs, on the other hand, can both swim and hop. The difference between a frog swimming and a tadpole swimming is the means of propulsion. Tadpoles use their tails, but frogs have no tails. Frogs use their hind legs and propel themselves forward in a kicking motion. On land, frogs can move by hopping around, something that tadpoles are not capable of.
