Care of Fish

Axolotols are the larval stage of a salamander, and are different from other amphibians in that they have the ability to reproduce while remaining a sexually mature lava. Walking fish come in grey/brown colour, an albino form (which has a white body and bright pink gills), a golden form, and a spotted pattern which is seldom seen.

The name walking fish refers to the animals habit of walking whilst under water. Walking fish should not be removed from the water and forced to crawl on land as they cannot breath out of water. Death would rapidly occur as would be expected with fish.

Axolotols are supposed to have the ability to undergo metamorphosis (Similar to a tadpole changing into a frog) and change to an air breathing, land dwelling salamander, but this very seldom occurs. It seems that most strains have now lost the ability to metamorphose...

he Axolotl spends much of its time motionless, especially during the day. But from early evening to early morning they are very active.

Axolotls may be kept alone - they aren't specifically social. But groups do well too, assuming you provide plenty of room because if they have no means of keeping to themselves when they want to, they may show aggression.

Also, if kept in pairs or groups, they must be fed adequately - a starving axolotl will eat a limb of a tank-mate. Interestingly, they can re-generate lings, tail and even parts of the head and some organs. But this is no excuse to over-crowd, as they take some time and may suffer from disease due to the wound. Axolotls must be fed every 2 - 3 nights, never more as digestion is slow. Sinking pellets designed for them are usually taken, and should be their staple. But this must also be supplemented with beef heart or perhaps even live food (but beware of internal parasites, etc) The occasional earth worm can be hand fed occasionaly too, just beware of pesticides in the ground where you found it.

Axolotls tend to swallow gravel when feeding from the bottom. To avoid this, use larger 'river stones'. But many find that the larger substrate won't let natural, healthy bacteria grow, so they go back to gravel. This is fine, but it must be overcome by either dropping the food directly in front of each axolotl's mouth until it catches it. Or, a less time-consuming method, use gravel, but place a terra-cotta dish on the bottom and dropn food onto this.

Axolotls must not be kept with other animals. Small fish will be eaten, and those too large to be swallowed tend to 'nip' at an axolotl's fluffy gill crest, causting respitory problems or death. Even aquatic snails have been known to damage an axolotl's skin while 'sucking'.

Axolotls should not be kept in a dark room, but neither should they be in direct, full sunlight. If you wish to use an aquarium lamp (for the benefit of aquarium plants) be sure it is a flurescent globe. Also you MUST have plenty of places for the axolotls to get their heads or even whole bodies away from light as they stress if their is no dark refuge.

Driftwood or plastic decorative 'caves' do fine. Axolotls tend to uproot most plants while swimming, so be sure to use simple, hardy plants like elodea, which must be wedged underneath a heavy object (terra-cotta pot, stone, etc). It is often said that axolotls don't need water to be any deeper than they are long. This is true, as they spend most of their time 'walking' low to the ground and even stall in the lower half of a tank while swimming. However, they do swim to the top and back now and then, which provides good exersise.

An Axolotl must NEVER be removed from the water and forced to 'walk' on land. Their limbs cannot support them fully and they cannot breath when out of water. If you have cats, remember they can easily pull an axolotl out of its tank.

The word "abalone" comes from the Spanish word "abanico," meaning fan. This name was given to these marine snails due to their round, flattened shape resembling a fan.

well it's not too hard to tell......just follow thease steps. # carfully reach in to its habitat and very,"VERY" carfully pick it up and see if it moves. if it does, then its alive.if not continue to step 2. 2. smell......if it smells like rotten meat(or fish),i'm sorry to say........its probably dead. ps. feed your crab. it will eat anything from dead fish to flaked fishfood.

Oscars can live up to 15 years if they are properly taken care of. A good rule of thumb is that for 1 full grown Oscar he needs AT LEAST 30 gallons of water. He needs a variety of foods (pelleted, blood worms, brine shrimp, feeder minnows/guppies, mosquito larvae, etc)

Gary the Snail from the TV show SpongeBob SquarePants is about 18 years old in snail years, which would be equivalent to about 90-100 in human years.

A sand flea is a small species of fleas that are typically brownish in color and have elongated bodies. They are known for their ability to jump long distances due to their powerful hind legs. Sand fleas are commonly found in sandy beach areas and can be a nuisance to humans and animals.

you dont have enough O2 in your tank, you may need to buy a air stone and pump, they stay up top because there is more air in the water up there. maesure you have good circulation and lighting

Yes, male bettas may attack and eat their own babies, especially if they feel threatened or stressed. It is recommended to separate the male betta from the babies after they have been born to ensure their safety.

If you are reffering to snails inside a fish tank, then the best thing to do is to not clean the tank. That is the snails job as they eat the alge produced by the fish. so if you just have snails and no fish, then i suggest you buy fish to suit your tank to help give the snails the food they require.

Feed silver dollar fish once or twice a day, offering them an amount of food that they can consume within a few minutes. It's important not to overfeed them as this can lead to water quality issues in the aquarium. A good rule of thumb is to feed them an amount equivalent to the size of their eye.

One example of a brightly colored fish that starts with an "o" is the Ocellaris Clownfish, also known as the "false percula clownfish." These fish have vibrant orange bodies with white stripes.

Goldfish are best kept with other goldfish or similar coldwater species that can tolerate cooler temperatures and shared tank requirements. Good tankmates for goldfish include white cloud mountain minnows, dojo loaches, weather loaches, and rosy barbs. Avoid fish that may outcompete goldfish for food or nip at their fins, such as tropical fish like angelfish or neon tetras.

Koi fish can lose their color due to stress, poor water quality, or a lack of proper diet. Additionally, environmental factors such as excessive sunlight exposure or high levels of ammonia in the water can also cause koi fish to lose their color.

There may be bacterial growth not compatible with the type of fish you have. Make sure your tank stays relatively clean. Try using an algae eater to clean up the mess.

Make sure you feed your fish. Do not overfeed them, and do not underfeed them.

Make sure there is adequate oxygen supply with an air pump.

Don't use house cleaners or other harmful substances in or around the fish tank.

Make sure you use the right kind of water compatible for your fish. If it is a saltwater fish, use saltwater. If it is regular water fish, make sure the water you are using isn't full of iron or other metals commonly found in well water as well as chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water. Try filtered or bottled water, or use a special balancer you can find at any fish/pet store that will create the best habitat for your kind of fish.

Make sure each of the fish are compatible with one another. Some fish will kill or eat other breeds of fish as part of their nature.

Algae can start to grow in a fish aquarium within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on factors like light exposure, nutrients levels, and water conditions. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and proper lighting, can help control algae growth.

When angelfish lay eggs and you need to remove them for safety or breeding purposes, gently scrape them off the surface using a flat tool, like a credit card. Be careful not to damage the eggs, and transfer them to a separate, prepared tank where water conditions are similar to the main tank. Monitor the eggs closely for signs of fungus or contamination during their incubation period.

A fishbowl is a round glass container typically used to keep fish as pets. It is filled with water and can be decorated with plants, rocks, and other items to create a suitable habitat for fish. Fishbowls come in various sizes and styles.

Quite possibly. My female beta ate my male beta, so it wouldn't be that weird if a zebra fish did.

Another Answer: Zebra fish are "fin nippers" and while they can be kept in community tanks, they are best kept in groups of 3 or more. Beta fish shouldn't be kept in a community tank.

Dragon fish are known to be nocturnal predators, hunting for their prey at night. They are generally solitary and territorial, exhibiting aggressive behavior towards other tank mates. They have a unique ability to produce red bioluminescent light from their barbels to attract prey.

Dogfish are small to medium-sized sharks with elongated bodies and blunt snouts. They typically have two dorsal fins and large, oval-shaped eyes. Dogfish are usually gray or brown in color and have smooth skin covered in small, tooth-like scales.

Guppies are actually tropical fish and prefer water temperatures between 72-82°F (22-28°C). They do not do well in coldwater environments as their immune system and metabolism can be negatively impacted. It's important to maintain a consistent and appropriate water temperature for guppies to thrive.

It depends on how often you clean the tank. you dont need a sucker fish if you clean your tank alot. If you dont clean your tank that often then get one. you should talk to your local pet store for more information.

The only algae eaters that are safe with goldfish are bristlenose plecos. Weather (dojo) loaches can also be placed with goldfish, but they are not comparable to a pleco for cleaning algae (though they do clean some).

A pH of 8 indicates that the water in the fish tank is slightly basic. This pH level is suitable for most freshwater fish, as they typically thrive in a range between 6.5 to 8.5. However, it is important to monitor the pH regularly to ensure it remains stable for the health of the fish.
