Care of Fish

It can sometimes be hard to tell if they very young. The females will usually be smaller (if they all were born a the same time). If you have a good eye try to look a the anal fin, the one that is on the bottom toward the tail. Males will have a shorter one that is pointed and usually retracted toward the body. Females will have one that is a bit bigger and it will be like the other two fins on the belly. When the males get bigger there tail will start to extend on the bottom tip of the fin, which will eventually turn into a long "sword".

Scallops protect themselves by clapping their shells together to create a quick jet of water to propel them away from predators. Additionally, their shells have ridged edges that help them blend in with their surroundings, making them harder to spot.

Fish gills are typically red due to the presence of hemoglobin, a protein that carries oxygen in their blood. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen, giving the gills a reddish color. This helps the fish efficiently extract oxygen from water as it passes over their gills.

Hi! Feeding cucumber to a plec is perfectly fine the water conditions may change a little but as long as you have a filter it will be ok.if your feeding a cucumber to a plec other fish may eat it to even if they don't it will give them more oxygen.Because some foods like cucumber and real plants make the water tropical and give off alot of oxygen. Hope i helped .

umm........ I believe that there in both saltwater and fresh water. when i go fishing i catch some carps they mostly go for mussels for saltwater and for freash i think some dough bait.

They live in freshwater naturally, but could probably survive in salt water.

Most fish are covered with 'scales'

Just Google it and look at Wikipedia ;) WAY easier than using this site, and you'll find TONS of info on this fish.

Tilapia is a freshwater cichlid that very rarely inhabits brackish water.

yes,they can eat ants they dont even need arms and legs amazing isn't it. Gust pop a few in and they will eat them. I haven't fed them ants yet but i will becouse someone wrote a comment on it.

Water in a fish tank can go foggy due to an excess of dissolved organic compounds, bacterial blooms, or insufficient water circulation. It is important to ensure proper filtration, regular water changes, and maintaining appropriate water parameters to prevent foggy water in a fish tank.

Green algae overgrowth in a tank signals many things. It could mean there is too much direct sunlight or lamps on in the tank. It's possible that the water has too mush nutrients, due to accidental overfeeding. The list goes on.

To make a balloon hover like a fish in a tank of fresh water, you can fill the balloon with a gas that is less dense than air, such as helium. The buoyant force of the helium will cause the balloon to float in the water similarly to how a fish hovers in a tank.

Yes, eagles are known to eat tadpoles if they are available as a food source. However, tadpoles are not a primary food source for eagles and they are more likely to consume fish, small mammals, birds, and carrion.

That's impressive! Blind cave fish typically have a lifespan of 5-10 years in the wild, so yours have exceeded expectations. Providing them with proper care and a suitable environment has likely contributed to their longevity. Feel free to share the link if you have more information or if you need specific advice on their care.

Often fish will 'nip' or bite off parts of the fins. Or you may have fin rot. If you only have a few (3-4) fish, they may be eating each others' fins. If your fish look sick, they need to have some medicine. Or if they are being kept with other fish or crabs or crayfish, they might be losing fin to them.

Feather duster worms have a cylindrical body with a feathery appearance due to their elaborate crown of feeding tentacles. They can range in color from white and pink to red and purple, and they have a flexible tube-like structure that helps them anchor to the substrate. These worms can retract quickly into their protective tube when threatened.

A fish is a cold-blooded aquatic animal that typically has scales, gills for breathing, and fins for swimming. They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, and are known for their ability to live in a wide range of water environments. Fish play a crucial role in aquatic ecosystems and are a valuable food source for many cultures.

Yes, that's the easiest place for them to hide their eggs from predators. (Fish who eat them)

A pig-eyed shark, also known as a sixgill shark, has a broad, blunt head with small eyes positioned high on the sides of its head. It has six gill slits, which is a distinguishing feature as most sharks have five. The body is large and cylindrical, with a short, wide mouth containing multiple rows of teeth.

Well right when the female lays the eggs you have to get them and throw them out. So the male can't fertilize them. Or you could do what I do I give mine to my friend who loves pets so she takes them, and on actions I will go and visit them. It's sweet because your still a grandparent (lol) but you don't do the work!!!

The life expectancy of tropical catfish can vary depending on the species, but on average they can live around 10-15 years in captivity. Providing proper care, a balanced diet, and a suitable environment can help maximize their lifespan.

People typically use a method called deep sea trolling to catch swordfish. This involves using large trolling reels and heavy-duty equipment to drop baited hooks deep in the water where swordfish are known to dwell. Some fishermen also use harpoons or longlines to catch swordfish.

A fish uses its fins for steering, balance, and movement in water. Fins help the fish to navigate, change direction, and maintain stability while swimming through the water.

Abalone is a mollusc, class gastropoda. They're functionally very simple snails. The foot of the abalone is the msot commonly consumed part, although the liver and even the stomach contents (they're herbivores) are considered delicacies in some places, including Japan. Arguably, abalone are on the decline and, while still unprotected and a market animal, numbers are way down and I expect them to enter the protected lists soon. This is due to their very slow rate of reproduction (est. 5 years before they achieve legal size to catch), intense harvesting, and the fact that they're a very delicate animal.

I really do not know how many babies and a fish have, I also would like to know

what kind of water should I use to put my betta fish in, every time I used tap water

my fish stays for at least 4 days and then it dies. Some one told me it might be the

wrong water I used.

Thanks

Sonia

Fish vary in the number of young they produce and the way in which they produce them. For example, Guppies and platies are live-bearing fish, which means that they give birth to live, free swimming young, usually around 50-100 young per birthing, whereas betta's create bubble nests and eggs are placed into this by the father who then guards the nest and the young until they are able to fend for themselves.

As far as the water goes, you should not use straight tap water...ever! The chlorine and other chemicals contained within tap water to make it suitable for human consumption are often lethal to fish. You should remove these chemicals and heavy metals by either filtering the water using a reverse osmosis unit, or you should by a water treatment designed for use in aquaria (you can readily buy these at your local pet or fish store).

A betta normally only lives 2-3 years, so it would be around 70 years old in "betta years".
