Care of Fish

You can find information on feather duster worms in marine biology books, online marine life databases, and scientific journals. Websites of marine conservation organizations and aquarium websites may also provide information on feather duster worms.

Yes, cats can catch fish in a pond if they have the hunting instinct and skills to do so. Some cats are natural hunters and may be able to successfully catch fish in a pond.

Assuming we are talking about a common rectangular aquarium. (Length of tank in inches) x (Width of tank in inches) x (Depth of tank in inches) = Volume of the tank in cubic inches Volume/231 = Gallons in tank Please keep in mind that rocks, plants, fish, and decorations reduce the volume of the tank somewhat.

In mature angels you look for the display of breeding tubes. basically look where their waste comes from , if an itty bitty pointy tube extends out its a male. females have a fatter tube as they pop out the eggs from

Biglou

it can be difficult and is likely to be most accurate in their breeding season. the males in season will develop white spots by their gills and on the edges of his fins, the females anus will protrude a bit while the males will stay slightly turned inward. the femles are likely to get fatter bellies which you will notice when looking from above. in breeding season the males will chase the females although if there are no females the males will chase other males so be careful using that one!

hope this helps

It is not recommended to house terrapins and fish in the same tank as terrapins are known to eat fish. Additionally, terrapins require different water conditions, such as a basking area, which may not be suitable for fish. It is best to keep them in separate tanks to ensure the well-being of both species.

Bubbles in a fishbowl can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as excess waste buildup, high water temperature, or the fish producing excess mucus. It could also be a sign of poor water quality or inadequate aeration. Regular cleaning and monitoring of the fishbowl parameters are essential to ensure the well-being of the fish.

You can try gradually mixing brine shrimp and bloodworms with the pellets until they become accustomed to the new food. You can also try soaking the pellets in garlic juice to make them more appetizing to the fish. Be patient and persistent in offering the pellets as their primary food source.

Most fish only live 3 years, so that's about an equivalent of 24 human years to one fish year.

MOST fish only live 3 years. Goldfish can live 20 years or more. It depends on the fish you have. Some are one year, while others are 30 years.

Fish gills are respiratory organs that allow fish to extract oxygen from water. They are made up of thin filaments that are highly vascularized, allowing for efficient exchange of gases. As water flows over the gill filaments, oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released.

It is unlikely that fish would eat spiders as they are not a natural part of their diet. Fish typically consume insects, smaller fish, and other aquatic creatures. Spiders are terrestrial organisms and would not be readily accessible to fish in their natural environment.

You should generally separate a baby fish until it is large enough to not be eaten by its parents or other fish in the aquarium. Some fish, such as mouthbrooders, keep their fry in their mouths until the fish are old enough to be released. Others, like Black Convict Cichlids, guard their babies and chase away any fish who gets too close. For these fish, there will be no need to separate the babies.

It's very difficult if not impossible to sex tadpoles and very young frogs. The most reliable indicator of a frog's sex is that males call for mates but females do not. However this means that you often can't tell at all until the frogs reach sexual maturity.

Of course you can always dissect the tadpole and look at it under a microscope but if you want it for breeding it kind of defeats the purpose.

Until a pro contributes, I suggest that the purpose of the fluid filling the cavities is to prevent excess positive bouyancy, which would cause the fish to uncontrollably float to the surface. Buy having its natural bouyancy at or near neutral, the fish would then be able to adjust to positive or negative bouyancy with only small effort.j3h.

It is best to keep them separated for one month. After that month has gone by, compare the frys body size to the mom and dads mouth. If they are big enough you can release them into the aquarium. If not, keep them isolated for another month or so.

If a fish appears to have dropped its head, it may be a sign of stress or illness. Ensure the water parameters are appropriate for the species, check for any signs of disease, and consider adjusting the diet or environment to alleviate stress. If the issue persists, seek advice from a vet specializing in fish health.

Hey there, First off id like to say that about 30mins ago i read that u can give boiled pumpkin to ur fish. Secondly Id like to say that i used to work at an aquarium for a few years. Now personally I have never tried veggies and fish but id highly be against it. One, because fish don't naturally eat veggies in the wild and two, because it will most definitely pollute your water way quicker than normal food. I used to give bristles a varied diet while working in the aquarium, for a couple of days id give them sinking granuals, and then toss in a couple of spirulina or alage tablets for them to munch on. Whatever u do just make sure that u buy high quality food. Normally the more u pay the better. Cheap (and supermarket) fish foods really do more harm than good. The pollute the water too quickly and generally speaking its like feeding ur fish McDonalds everyday. Wardley brand is pretty good, Ive never had a fatality with feeding them wardley. I hope that helps mate. If u have any other questions message me a www.myspace.com/wahbeagle Cheers!

Cloudy eyes are a sign of a water quality problem - test your water. A general antibacterial medication such as Mela-fix should help - but no use dosing with that if your water quality is completely out of whack. And make sure you don't "Wipe" The medication over the fish's eyes, it will result it eye damage. Trust me, I have had the same problem, I used that trick and... IT WORKS! If you have any more questions Email me at minor3@live.com.

The Oscar is still in a transition period, or a new world, it takes time to create a bond, look from afar, give the fish some time to adjust to its new home. The good news is the fish is eating, this fish has done some traveling to get to his new home and has been under a lot of stress.

This is not an easy job. Get a clean 5 gallon bucket. Not an old one, but a new one that has never been used. Clean it with WATER. No soaps, no detergents. Take enough water out of the tank to fill the bucket. Place the fish in the bucket. Drain the tank enough to make it light enough for two or three people to carry without dropping it. BE CAREFUL! Once the tank is downstairs, refill the tank. De-chlorinate the water. Add the proper amounts of aquarium salts and Stress Zyme. Try to get the tank refilled as close to the original temperature as possible. Place the Oscar back into the tank and leave it alone for several hours. It will shock a bit, but the fish should be back to normal in a day or two. Oscars are hearty and tough fish. Good luck!

It is not recommended to pet a fish as their scales are delicate and can easily be damaged by handling. Additionally, fish do not derive pleasure from being touched like some other pets do. It is best to simply observe and provide a suitable environment for your fish.

C.Water must have the chlorine removed before it is dumped back into the ocean.

Some fish do not have eyelids, so they cannot close their eyes when they sleep. However, some species of fish may exhibit a form of rest where they remain still or hide in a safe spot without closing their eyes.
