How many tadpoles can a frog have?

A female frog can lay thousands of eggs at once, but not all will hatch into tadpoles. The number of tadpoles that survive and develop into adult frogs will vary based on factors like environmental conditions and predation.

Why are some of the fish in the abyssal zone blind?

Fish in the abyssal zone may be blind because there is limited light at these depths, and eyes are not necessary for survival in this environment. In the absence of light, other senses such as detecting vibrations or electrical impulses may be more important for finding prey or avoiding predators.

What is in a sword fish's ecosystem?

Swordfish are apex predators in their ecosystem, feeding on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans. They are hunted by sharks, orcas, and humans. Swordfish habitat includes deep ocean waters worldwide, often near the surface but can dive to significant depths.

Why might an overfishing of herring lead to an increase in populations of sea urchins?

An overfishing of herring can disrupt the food chain and remove a key predator of sea urchins. With fewer herring to feed on sea urchins, their populations can increase unchecked leading to ecosystem imbalance and potentially to overgrazing on kelp forests where sea urchins feed.

Do they kill fish for lipstick?

No, people do not kil fish for lipstick. Lipstick is made out of a completly different material. No fish involved.

Why are fish colored?

While some species (Goldfish etc) have been selectively bred by aquarists for their colour the majority of fish have colours to help them stay alive or find a mate in some way. In some species it makes them stand out because they are poisonous and their colours stop other creatures from attacking them. This preserves the lives of both the potential hunter and the hunted. All fish need to hide for one reason or another and camouflage is a main reason for most colours.

What eats tadpoles in a marsh?

Animals that eat tadpoles in a marsh include birds like herons and kingfishers, as well as fish such as catfish and bass. Predatory insects like dragonfly larvae and water beetles are also known to prey on tadpoles in marsh ecosystems.

Is there imatation abalone?

Yes, there are imitation abalone products made from various materials such as dyed shells or plastics that mimic the appearance of real abalone. These imitation products are often used as a more affordable alternative to real abalone in jewelry or decorative items.

What illegal practices destroy the coral reef?

Illegal practices that can destroy coral reefs include illegal fishing methods like dynamite or cyanide fishing, pollution from untreated sewage or chemicals, and illegal coral harvesting for the aquarium trade or use in jewelry. These practices can harm coral reefs by damaging the coral structure, disrupting the ecosystem balance, and reducing the resilience of the reef to environmental stressors.

What is the chemical composition of aquarium gravel?

Aquarium gravel is typically made from natural or synthetic materials such as quartz, granite, or plastic resin. These materials are inert and do not release harmful chemicals into the water. It is important to choose aquarium gravel that is safe for aquatic life and does not affect water parameters.

How are abalone shells harvested?

Abalone shells are typically harvested by free divers who search for the mollusks in seaweed-covered rocky areas along the coastline. The divers use tools like pry bars to carefully detach the abalone from the rocks without damaging the shell. Strict regulations are in place to ensure sustainable harvesting practices and protect abalone populations from overexploitation.

What will happen if a Goldfish is kept in a dark place?

Goldfish usually react positively to having a light source, however it is unhealthy to leave your fish tank illuminated constantly and the light also encourages algae to grow rapidly. Eight to twelve hours a day is sufficient for a happy goldfish.

Where do you find the sea urchins on my sims kingdom for wii?

Im up it the part where i need the sea urchins for tobors scrool . and ive been looking every where and I think you can get them by fishing in either rocket reef or the nature perserve. if not just wait till you get to the other islaands!

What house plants can live in an aquarium?

Pick any plant that is sold for use with fish. Also possible are water hyacinth, some minature tropical water lilies, such as nelumbo, papyrus and related reeds, etc etc etc etc. The posibilities are endless if you hunt around.

If you mean an aquarium without water - a bottle garden - pick any small-growing house-plant that comes from a humid climate. If this is what you mean, the tank will need to be placed in good light but out of direct sunlight so that you get good growth without cooking the plants.

Another opinionI do not know of any "House Plant" that can live permanently in water. There are some plants sold in the more unscrupulous pet shops that are pretty, colourfull and reasonably cheap, however some of these are bog and marsh plants and not truly aquatic and they die off after a few weeks fully submerged, leaving the aquarist disappointed and the aquarium full of dead and dying plants. My advice is "Plants have evolved over millions of years to live under specific conditions. House plants are simply plants that have evolved in darker places (Usually the Rainforest Understorey) and so will survive under poor light conditions but not under water. Aquatic plants have evolved to live in water, some need bright light and some need dim light but none will survive if kept out of water for long. If you want success you will research your plants species and provide it/them with the conditions you know they like".

Where can you buy live aquarium plants?

You can buy live aquarium plants from pet stores that specialize in aquatics, online retailers that sell aquarium plants, or directly from hobbyists through aquarium plant forums or social media groups. It's important to ensure that the plants are healthy and free from pests before adding them to your aquarium.

Why do water tanks appear shallow?

Water tanks appear shallow because they are designed to have a larger surface area relative to their depth. This design helps to distribute pressure more evenly across the tank's walls and reduces the likelihood of structural failure. Shallow tanks are also easier to maintain and clean compared to deeper tanks.

You found some tadpoles they are small and black what kind of frog will they be?

Without more information, it is difficult to determine the exact species of frog the tadpoles will become. Tadpoles typically undergo metamorphosis and mature into frogs, with their specific characteristics becoming more apparent as they grow. Observation of the tadpoles' development and physical traits as they mature will provide more clues to their species.

What are some examples of decomposers in an aquarium?

Decomposer: organisms of decay; a consumer that breaks down the bodies of dead organisms and the waste products of living things. They are also called saprobes. They break down the remaines of dead animals and plants, releasing the substances that can be used by other members of the ecosystem.

Most decomposers are bacteria and fungi.

How does ammonia affect the pH balance of the water in an aquarium what can be done to fix this problem?

Ammonia is a base. To fix it, perhaps try adding buffer to the water. Just as a side note, the ammonia is actually a product of the fish. Fish pee pure ammonia because of the abundance of water in their system.

How does a clown fish help the coral reef environment?

Clownfish are not particularlily 'helpful' to their environment. Very few species, in fact only one (Homo sapiens - mankind) strive to help their environment. Clownfish live in the reef environment, and as a by product of their behaviors and breeding, they provide food (baby clownfish) for the reef, and also produce metabolic waste that helps aglae to grow.

How can you tell a female gourami from a male?

There are some species of Gourami where there are no visible differences between the sexes but in the majority, the males have longer, pointed, more flowing, dorsal and anal fins with extended fillaments. The females fins usually tend to have rounded corners.

What kind of food do tadpoles eat?

Frogs spawn in my backyard pond every summer here in Florida, and sometimes I feed the babies. Plain dry oats are eaten they also like stewed cabbage or lettuce in ice cubes , but they especially seem to enjoy fresh fruit. Plums, mango, and tomato are devoured.

Tadpoles or frog spawn eat a variety of foods tadpoles have been known to eat foods like lettuce, fish food, egg yolk and even baby cereal. A tadpole starts feeding a few days after it is born typically when it starts growing legs until which it feeds on its own egg yolk and does not need to be fed externally.

Once it has grown sufficiently it starts feeding on mainly algae if it is in a pond and may even eat its own kind if sufficient food is not available for example in a tank.

As the animals begin to get bigger you should start feeding them uncooked but not bloody meat/bacon rind/meat scraps (because the vedgetable digesting gut of the tadpole evolves into the carnivorous stomach of the insect eating frog. ) and separate them because they may begin to fight between one-another!!

Solidified egg yolk and fish food can be utilized. Ideally tadpoles should be fed two pinches of food twice in a day after eight hours taking care not to dirty the water too much.

Also one would do well to change the water only after the tadpoles have sufficiently grown in to froglets, indicated by the disappearance of their tail.

Whatever the kit comes with. My little brother got a tadpole kit and he ordered the food online and it is treating the tadpoles great!

GOOD LUCK!

What Kindgon are green algae placed in?

Green algae are primarily placed in the Kingdom Plantae due to their possession of chlorophyll for photosynthesis, cell walls made of cellulose, and other plant-like characteristics.

Last week one of your fish died it stayed at the bottom though And now another fish is doing the same its just upside down at the bottom of my tank could you be feeding it to much?

I would advise you to get your water changed ASAP. You could be doing many things wrong but if fish are dying 100% water changes would be my response. Never feed more than the fish can eat in about 15 mins. Any uneaten food needs to be removed within 1 hour otherwise it will go rotten and polute the water. Read some fish books, do some research on the web, and talk to your local pet supplier.

How frogs does live without water?

The majority of frogs do not live in water. True aquatic frogs are very rare. Most frogs need to live in moist areas or near water because they are amphibians and their skin dries out very quickly if they are too dry. However, they only enter it for a few minutes at a time. Despite this, a lot of terrestrial frogs are very good swimmers. The majority of frogs breed in water, but some of them do not. One species, the beautiful Red-Eyed Leaf Frog, lays its eggs on branches that overhang water. This protects them from aquatic predators in their embryonic stages when they cannot escape. When the tadpoles hatch they fall into the water to complete their development. Other species have bypassed water altogether. The Australian nursery frogs lay their eggs in moist leaf litter. The eggs are much larger than normal frog eggs and the tadpoles complete their development inside them, emerging as fully formed frogs with no tails. All of the frogs that lack a free swimming tadpole stage still go through being a tadpole, they just never leave their eggs.
