How many fish can you keep?

I would guess around 5 or 6 per 10 gallons of aquarium space, but a lot depends on whether they are little tetras, medium gouramis, or large plecostomus catfish. The large fish pollute the water faster, so you must have less of them than you would of, say, the little zebra danios.

What physical factor may affect the fish population in a river?

One physical factor that would affect fish population is the temperature of the water. Fish are generally very sensitive to changes in temperature, and if the water becomes too hot or too cold, it can cause the fish to die or their eggs to not hatch.

Which organ in the fish is the most similar to the human respiratory system?

whereas we have lungs for ventillation, the fish use gills, on the side of their head, usually.

As they swim, water flows over the gills and oxygen diffuses from the water into their blood stream.

:)

if you need more info, then search gills on google!

What are the different kinds or types of fish?

Some fish, called egg scatters, put their eggs in different places in weeds or gravel. As the female is laying the eggs, the male chases her around and fertilizes the eggs. If you are lucky enough to see this process, you may be amazed because the fish don't pay attention to anything else, even food! Tetras and barbs are examples of egg scatters.

Substrate spawners, such as catfish or cichlids, put their eggs on plants, a piece of wood or the tank until they hatch.

A very interesting type of fish are the bubblenest builders. They actually build a nest for their eggs in bubbles that the male blows. The bubbles look like foam and are held together by saliva.

Finally, mouthbrooders keep their eggs in their mouths until after they hatch. Both the male and the female may carry the eggs, and the carrier does not eat very much until the eggs hatch.

How were fish made?

I'd suggest that you read the book of Genesis. It will tell you how everything was created.

The same way apes evolved into humans, through mutation. Also, the same way new viruses and other forms of life are coming into existence today.

I found a program on Discovery explaining the difference between ray-fin fish and lobe-fin fish to be very educational. Lobe-fin fish are our earliest ancestors with the same basic skeleton as humans having distinct finger bones and limbs. Ray-fin fish have the same limb that current fish have such as catfish or goldfish. They remained on that evolutionary tree where we humans branched from lobe-fin fish.

What is a person called that eats only fish?

Why do betta fish blow bubbles?

The bubbles are a bubble nest. Male bettas are the ones that take care of the kids in betta society. They blow the nest and that usually means he's happy or ready to reproduce. They also sometimes blow them when the composition of their water changes or their is a barometric change in air pressure. It doesn't always mean they are ready to be parents, though and sometimes perfectly healthy males won't blow them.

You have to eat some bread which causes the bone to go into your stomach. You can also try to cough it up, but that does not really help. Also, ehen you eat the bread, do not chew it alot so that the bread would take up more space in your throat which causes the bone to go into the stomach with a bigger chance of it not staying in your stomach.

Do fish have a lateral line system?

The lateral line is a system of sense organs; neuromasts situated along/in the lateral line detect movement and vibration in water. The system is important in schooling and predatory behaviour, as well as in general for spatial awareness. It allows detection of movement outside of the range of vision, or in conditions that reduce visibility.

Blind fish will orientate towards movement in the same way as fish that are able to see, but disruption of the lateral line also disrupts the response to movement.

What does a fish-dog look like?

The spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, is a type of dogfish which are members of the family Squalidae in the order of the Squaliformes. The head of the dogfish resembles that of a dog, hence the name.

Do betta fish like other fish?

What are three adaptations of a cartilaginous fish?

The chondrichthyans are often thought of as primitive compared to bony fishes . Many chondrichthyans, however, have evolved sophisticated adaptations that have made them successful predators over a wide range of habitats.

sense of hearing

The senses of active predators, including many sharks, are especially well developed. A keen sense of hearing allows sharks to locate prey from as far away as 250 meters (800 feet). They are particularly sensitive to low-frequency vibrations such as those emitted by injured animals. Sound is detected through the ears and through the lateral line , a series of fluid-filled canals along the head and sides of the body that contain sensory cells sensitive to vibrations

sense of Sight

. As in many nocturnal mammals, the inside of a shark's eye is covered with a tapetum , a membrane that reflects light back into the eye, making it easier to see in dim light. Unlike most fishes, sharks can reduce and expand their pupils. In some species, the eyes are protected during feeding by the nictitating membrane, a structure similar to an eyelid.

sense of smell

The Elasmobranchi group has external nostrils on the lower side of the body; because of them, sharks can detect tiny concentrations of substances such as blood, which allows them to scent prey from distances of several hundred feet. Finally, sharks can detect electrical signals via the ampullae of Lorenzini, which are specialized organs distributed over a shark's head that detect changes in electrical currents. Sharks use these to sense the electrical fields emitted by the heart and muscles of their prey.

Is tuna really a fish?

Tuna is not considered meat or poultry. It is actually a fish. You may be confused because stores do sell tuna sometimes as a tuna steak. It is also a pink color which may resemble beef. However, this color derives from the fishes' myoglobin. Tuna is indeed a fish.

How long can a fish stay in its bag that the workers put it in at the store?

As long as is necessary for the water temperatures to equalise. I would float the bag in the tank for at least an hour if the fish is not showing signs of distress. If it is distressed I would add some water to the bag every 5 minutes or so to speed things up a bit and then I would pour the bag water through a net into a bucket and place the fish from the net into the tank without adding the water from the bag to the tank.

What is a pregnant fish called?

There is no such thing as a pregnant goldfish. They are egg layers and so do not get pregnant. Gravid is the term used to describe an impregnated female livebearer and does not correctly refer to any species of egg laying fish. Gravid can not be used in reference to a goldfish. ** Gravidity, in essence, refers to "heavy with young" regardless if the organism is viviparous, oviparous, or ovoviviparous. According to Miriam-Webster online dictionary, this term is acceptable to define condition of any sexual reproductive product. It also specifically refers to "a gravid fish" as being full of eggs. Please refer to provided examples below. Granted, some sources define gravidity as "an implanted uterus" only, but the cited Example #2 below is inclusive of eggs as a means of development and delivery. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gravidgravid Top of Form

Describe coastal upwelling and the effect it has on fish populations?

Cooler deep ocean water contains many nutrients. When this water rises, due

to upwelling, these nutrients rise to the ocean's surface. These nutrients can

then feed fish, providing large regions of successful coastal fisheries.
