Can minnows live in tap water?
Minnows can survive in tap water, as long as it is treated to remove chlorine and other harmful chemicals. However, for long-term health and well-being, it is recommended to provide minnows with clean, filtered water that closely resembles their natural habitat.
Snails have poor eyesight and can only detect light and dark shapes. They rely more on their sense of touch and smell to navigate their environment.
It depends on the species. Lily Pads have a flat surface area which allows them to float on the surface like a boat as well as having stems that keep growing until they reach the surface and then stop growing. With many Kelp species, they have "float sacs" filled with air which allow them to stay afloat.
Fish scales provide protection by reducing friction and protecting against injuries or parasites. They also help fish regulate their buoyancy and maintain water balance. Additionally, scales allow fish to swim more efficiently by reducing drag in the water.
You have albino African frogs that swim underwater What do you feed them as new frogs?
Wow what a great question reader, first of all they love crickets,tubix worms dry or alive ,worms (earth worms) and other small insects like flies and spiders. when you feed your frog take almost everything out of your frogs home so its prey does not go on it where your frog cannot catch it.

Remove adults from the tank after they are fertilized or the adults will eat the babies. You can put in a fry pen for them to stay in if you do not have a tank for the adults.
Fish are typically kept in aquariums or fish tanks. These containers are designed to provide the necessary environment for fish to thrive, including appropriate water conditions, filtration, and space to swim. Some fish are also kept in outdoor ponds or bodies of water.
Ghost shrimp are small, transparent freshwater crustaceans that are often kept as aquarium pets. They are typically used to help keep the tank clean as they feed on debris and algae. Ghost shrimp are known for their see-through bodies, which can make them hard to spot in the aquarium.

Fish reproduce by laying eggs, which are fertilized externally by the male releasing sperm over the eggs. The fertilized eggs develop into fry, which hatch and grow into adult fish. Some fish give birth to live young instead of laying eggs.

I found this which may of be use to you :The baby fry feed on small organisms called infusoria and algea. To grow infusoria for feeding just get a jam jar of pond water and run it through some cotton wool or muslin to get out any larger predatorial organsims like daphnia which will eat the infusoria and add hay the water. Leave it for a few days in a dimly lit room at about room temp. and when you next look you should see lots of tiny white dots in the water which, if looked at under a microscope reveal to be lots of types of infusoria in their millions. these can be fed to the fry by adding them to the tank. To get more just add some of the old water containing the infusoria to boiled tapp water with hay and repeat the other proceedours. As the fry grow their diet changes. When they reach about half an inch they can be fed small organisms like daphnia or cyclopses. These can be obtained by dragging a net through water where they can be see or they can be purchased from aquarium dealers. Soon the fish will eat the same food as the adults and will quickly grow.
Where do white rocks come from?
White rocks can come from a variety of sources, such as quartz, marble, or limestone. These rocks can form naturally through the deposition of minerals or chemical reactions in the Earth's crust. They can also be artificially produced through processes like grinding or crushing.
Depending on the size of your koi, you will need to choose an appropriately sized food. Buy food based on the size of the smallest koi in your pond, otherwise your larger fish will be at an advantage during feeding time. You will want to buy a mix of smaller and larger pellets.
Other than pellet foods, koi love to eat live food like earthworms, prawns, and tadpoles. They also love fresh produce like lettuce, watermelon, oranges, and lemons.
You can find snails in damp areas such as gardens, forests, and near bodies of water. Look under rocks, leaves, and plant debris, as well as on trees or bushes where they may be feeding. You may also spot snails during rainy or humid weather when they are more active.
How soon can I put fish in my new pond?
It is recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks before adding fish to a new pond. This allows time for the pond's ecosystem to establish and stabilize, ensuring a more hospitable environment for the fish to thrive. Additionally, regularly monitoring water quality parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, and pH levels is crucial before introducing fish.

The word "fishes" is grammatically correct when referring to multiple species of fish.
Cobia (Rachycentron canadum)-also known as black kingfish, black salmon, ling, lemonfish, crabeaters, aruan tasek, etc.-are perciform marine fish, the sole representative of their family, the Rachycentridae.
Fish breathe through their gills.
There are usually gills on either side of the pharynx. Gills have thread-like structures (filaments). These filaments exchange the oxygen and carbon dioxide.
