Care of Fish

No, apple snails and mystery snails are not the same. Apple snails belong to the family Ampullariidae and are typically larger in size compared to mystery snails, which belong to the Thiaridae family. Additionally, apple snails are considered invasive species in some regions, while mystery snails are popular aquarium pets.

Most tropical fish prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH range between 6.5 and 7.5. However, the specific pH requirement can vary depending on the species of tropical fish you are keeping. It is important to research the specific pH requirements of the fish you are keeping to ensure they thrive in their environment.

COmmunity fish would be simplest in a tank this size. Mollies, platies, sword tails, fancy tailed guppies, dwarf guroumis, Glo fish, danios, tetras, small catfish such as Cory cats, upside down cats, banjo cats, smaller plecos like false butterflys, clowns smaller types of loaches such as dojo, kuhli. Though you could do semi aggressive barbs such as tiger, green and so forth. Or you could do a couple of killifish who are very colorful and many tpes don't exceed 3 to 4 inches full grown. This all I can think of off the top of my head.

Atypical means "not typical", not conforming to a usual or regular type of something, or irregular.

Fish lay eggs. There are some varieties of fish that are "mouth breeders" and other just lay their eggs and the male comes along and fertilizes them.they ffucckin bang banng boom to the mooon wooot wooot

Flame angels are omnivorous and in the wild they feed on algae, plankton, and small invertebrates. In captivity, they can be fed a varied diet including frozen foods like mysis shrimp and marine algae to ensure they receive proper nutrition. Offer a mix of plant-based and protein-rich foods for optimal health.

First buy the tank. Get live sand and place it in the tank. Get buckets of R/O or dechlorinated water and add measured amounts of salt to each bucket to help disperse and distribute the salt.

Place a large cup in the tank and fill up the tank by introducing the water to the tank by first going into the cup to help minimize the sand clouding up the water, though the cloud will disperse and settle after a while. Plug-in your filter and protein skimmer. Wait three days and add Live Rock. Live rock acts as a natural filter and good bacteria booster for tanks as well as food for some types of tank inhabitants, it also helps reduce nitrates.

After another 4 days test your salinity, high range PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, nitrate, etc. Make any adjustments needed to balance out the tanks by adding needed chemicals. New tanks both fresh and salt go through a cycle which on the average take about a week.

First ammonia spikes, then it decomposes into nitrites, which in turn becomes nitrates. After the week is over buy a few damsel fish. Damsels are pretty, inexpensive and basically the saltwater cannonfodder. They will help the tank build up its good bacteria with their waste.

You will develope brown looking algae during this start up phase. it will clear on it's own after a while. With saltwater the more patience you have the better your tank will do. Also with saltwater, the bigger the tank the easier it is.

To find the volume of the fish tank in liters, first convert the dimensions to meters (0.4m x 0.25m x 0.28m). Then, multiply these dimensions to find the volume in cubic meters. Finally, convert the volume from cubic meters to liters (1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters). The fish tank has a volume of 0.028 cubic meters, which is equivalent to 28 liters.

Many kinds, I have Cory Cats, Neon Tetras, Dwarf Gouramis and Bettas all in heavily planted aquariums. Most of the smaller fish are safer. Larger fish may not eat them but many times will uproot them or damage them while swimming.

Your best bet is go to a pet store and find names of fish you like and write them down then find out about each kind on if they are the right size for your tank, what they eat, and if they will get along.

You should feed your comet fish small amounts of food 2-3 times a day. It's important not to overfeed them to prevent health issues and maintain good water quality in their tank. Monitor their behavior and adjust feeding accordingly based on how much they consume during each feeding.

No, feeding a betta goldfish food is not recommended. Betta fish have specific dietary needs that are different from goldfish, and giving them the wrong type of food may not provide the necessary nutrients for their health and well-being. It is best to feed bettas a high-quality betta fish food to ensure they receive the proper nutrition.

You can identify the type of snail by looking at its shell shape, color, size, and overall appearance. You can also consult field guides, online resources, or experts for help with identification. Additionally, observing its behavior and habitat can provide clues about the species of snail you have.

Fish commonly symbolize abundance, fertility, transformation, and good luck in various cultures and beliefs. Due to their constant movement and association with water, fish also represent adaptability and intuition. In Christianity, the fish symbol holds significance as a representation of faith and spirituality.

The general rule is 1 inch of fish per gallon of water at full stocking levels. So that would be 36 very small 1" fish, or 15 or so 2" fish. Make sure you stock the aquarium slowly, over a number of months.

The 1 inch rule is an old rule of thumb that is not useful to say the least. It depends on species, different fish will have a different impact on the system's bioload. some fish natural produce more waster than others. to simply say a 36 gallon aquarium will be able to hold a 30 inch Arowana is just not practical. generally, small schooling fish such as barbs and tetras can be stocked at higher densities. larger aquatic predators such as Oscars or arowana should be kept in fewer quantities. Think more about the bioload and what the filtration can handle

Sea snails typically have a spiral-shaped shell, a muscular foot for movement, two tentacles with eyes on the end, and a mouth with a radula for feeding. They come in various colors and sizes depending on the species.

Male fish may become more aggressive or protective to defend their mate and offspring from potential threats. Some male fish may also exhibit reproductive behaviors to attract other females to mate with. In some species, males may play no role in parenting and leave all parental care to the female.

As far as I know with freshwater fish and food is that there are are many things a fish will eat.

Fish Flakes: When it comes to fish flakes lots of fish will them such as Goldfish, Tetras, Small Chicleds, Gouramis, Mollies, Platties, Guppies, and sometimes Betta fish will eat them, They are very high in nutrition, I would recomend feeding a community tank of about 20 gallons at least 2 servings a day.

Fish Pellets: I have had a lot of luck with the pellets and fish, sometimes Goldfish and and the live bearing fish wont eat them, but most others will. I dont recomend this for bigger Chicleds, but great for smaller fish. Bettas will seek this as there primary source of food.

Fish Granules: This is for bigger fish such as Oscars or Koi to eat, this is mostly a base for the Oscar Chicleds diet, but it is necessary for them to eat this daily.

Feeder Fish: Chicleds also need this in there diet, about 2 small feeder goldfish, or 4 small feeder guppies or minows per chicled along with its base food. Crabs will also eat this as its only or primary source of food.

Algea Wafers: Bottom feeders such as Plecostomus, Catfish, and Snails will eat this, Crabs will also eat this as well. You only need to put 1-4 per week for them to eat.

Vegetables: Bigger plecostomus need this as the primary source of food in there diet, Cucumber, Letuce, Carrots, and Broccoli are the primary choices to feed them. I also recomend this for the smaller bottom feeders, but with less of it.

Sort of.

If there's a nearby lightning strike in the cables (wall socket, modem...)hooked up to the computer, then electricity can travel through the cables and into the person using the computer.

This is possible if the group consists of a grandfather, his son, and his grandson. In this scenario, the grandfather is one father, his son is another father, and his grandson is the third generation. Each of them would receive one automobile.

The length of labor can vary significantly among women. For first-time mothers, labor typically lasts between 12-18 hours, but it can be shorter or longer. Subsequent labors may be shorter, around 6-8 hours. It's important to be prepared for the possibility of a longer labor.

Clams are not typically kept as pets because they have specific environmental needs that can be challenging to meet in a home aquarium. Additionally, handling clams can be difficult due to their fragile shells and sensitivity to changes in water quality. It is recommended to research and understand the care requirements of clams before attempting to keep them as pets.

It is not recommended to use a tank that previously housed a snake for fish. Snakes may carry diseases that can be harmful to fish, even after thorough cleaning. It's better to err on the side of caution and use a new tank for fish.

I am not familiar with any specific species of fish that will do this. If there are fish that do this, hopefully someone else can give you some names.

However, I can tell you something of the mechanism behind fish turning colors since I did experiments on this in high school. And by "fish" I assume you are referring only to higher vertebrate aquatic life and not octopus or other sea creatures who have this amazing ability to change colors; my experiments were on goldfish and their color range and the mechanism behind it.

First some simplified color chemistry. There are 2 basic kinds of color: pigment color (like paint) and light color (like the sun.) While white light (color) is made from ALL the colors in the rainbow (and this is how droplets of water act as prisms to split white light into its composite colors, producing a rainbow), white as a pigment color is produced by a total lack of pigment - no pigment color at all. Colored paints are made by taking a white base and adding concentrated pigments ('nothing' for color except a paint texture plus the color you want = paint texture in the color you want.) (On the other hand, "no" light color produces black - night! - whereas "all" pigments produce black - try mixing small amounts of many shades of crayon or paint together and you get a very dark, black color.)

So when you talk about a fish - that is presumably naturally pigment-colored some shade - turning "white" (in the dark or for whatever reason), you are talking about the color the fish normally has as physical little bits of colored pigment 'disappearing.' Well, if you know very much about science you know it is pretty hard to make something "disappear," but I studied the mechanism whereby fish do indeed turn color, and sometimes much paler color. So this is the best I can do in helping you understand your question and maybe the answer you are looking for.

The color pigment part of fish are located in their scales in little structures called "melanophores." The melanophore is part of the fishes' scale cells, just like the nucleus, mitochondria and whatever else fish scale cells have inside them. But these melanophores are only in the scales, which are on the outside of the fish and how we can see their color.

You might recognize part of this word melanophore as "melanin" - especially if you're concerned about getting too much sun = sunburn! Melanin is the pigment we have deep in our skin and which comes to the surface when our skin detects we are in too bright sunshine for too long. Our body's response is to bring melanin up from deeper levels to block some of that too-strong sunlight (which can damage our cells) - and gives white folks a tan! Some races, or some people, who have lived in the sun for generations or millenia have always-dark skin, people from India or Africa, for instance. So it's melanin pigment that colors our skin a darker brown shade.

Quite similar for fish - except fish either clump the pigment particles they have together inside the melanophore, called aggregation, or they let the pigment particles float free and loose within the melanophore, called dispersion. And when I say the fish "do" this, it's a pretty unconscious mechanism, they don't have any thinking control over this, it's a pretty much instinctive response. Fish species that can do this usually do it for one of 2 reasons: either they are frightened or they find themselves in much brighter or darker surroundings.

There are 2 chemicals that circulate in fish bodies that principally affect this color-changing mechanism: potassium and adrenaline. Potassium is in all animal cells, it's in the fluid that surrounds them, too, but for specific reasons parts of animals' brains can direct a build-up of potassium in certain parts through the nerves to that part of the body. In this instance, we're talking about more potassium being directed to the fishes scales when the fish is placed in a darker environment. It happens automatically: the part of the fish's brain that detects light levels says, "Less light, more potassium to the scales" - and the pigment in the melanophores aggregates - it clumps together and makes the fish scales look darker. And the reverse - more light, less potassium to the scales, a lighter-appearing fish to blend in with the surrounding lighter water. Ditto for when danger is sensed - the brain directs the release of adrenaline throughout the fish's body (which helps it swim and breathe faster) and the effect of adrenaline on the melanophores is that it causes the pigment in them to clump together. Adrenaline causes the fish to become darker, causing the fish to blend in better with the darker water, which is where it swims to when threatened.

Now the trick here, as I mentioned above, is nothing is really disappearing or appearing out of thin air, the pigment simply either aggregates or it disperses within the melanophores. However, the effect to animal eyes is that it appears darker when pigment is aggregated and appears lighter when dispersed. (You can try a similar experiment with a computer printer: make a large, filled-in object like a solid circle varying shades of grey with the color palette of your word processing or drawing program. As there is more pigment - printer ink - in the same amount of space, the object appears darker grey, and the reverse. Look for the little, tiny ink spots with a magnifying glass and count them - the more there are in the same amount of space the darker the object appears. This is not exactly the same as how a melanophore works, but without descaling a goldfish and a microscope and some laboratory solutions, this is a good, safe analogy.)

Now back to your specific question about a fish turning white in the dark. This would be completely the opposite mechanism from the way fish coloration normally works, and therefore pretty rare if at all. A fish that turned white in the dark would stick out like a sore thumb and could become much easier prey for predators! But as I say, there may be some strange species that do this and hopefully someone will let you know about these exceptions.

Another thing that happens in a lack of light sustained for generations is that whole species of animals can become 'albino' - they turn white and have no pigmentation anywhere at all. There are several kinds of fish that live in very dark caves or at the very bottom of the ocean (where no practical light reaches) that have become albino. You could search for "albino fish" on the internet and you would find lots of information about those species, but this is very different from what your inquiry.

I hope this helps you figure out what you're asking about!

No, the eggs are layed above water and when the baby snails hatch they fall in. from there many baby snails will go into the parents shell for protection. or sometimes on top of the shell. I dont think the parent snails even notice the little ones. often they will push them out of they way to get where they're going, but I've never seen one eat it's young.
