Do Molly fish give live birth?

No, mollies give live birth. If you think your molly may be about to have babies, you may want to separate her from the other fish. There are small containers at the pet store. You can put her in it and place the entire thing back into the aquarium so she is still in filtered and aerated water. If she is not separated, the other fish will eat the babies or they will be sucked into the filter.

Pet stores are certainly best. You can ask them for a female betta. But if you want to go some place OTHER than a pet store, there are some good Web sites. www.aquabid.com sells some nice fish. www.BettySplendens.com sells show quality fish. Both websites will ship to your location. The fish do well in transit. I've had thousands shipped IN and OUT.

How do you bred Betta fish?

well you have to have a large aquareum and let the male have space and then they might fight i little but they will know what to do
put a female and a male together the male will start to bump into the female or into the walls and it will get the female in the mood.after then the female will drop an eggs and the male will put them in the nest.when they hatch remove the female because the male will think she will kill the babies.after then the male will guard.
If you mean " how do they reproduce?" then the simple answer is the female lays eggs (ova) when the male embraces her and then they are fertilised by the male. In more detail. As she releases her eggs the male releases his milt (sperm) which fertilises them. The male fish then separates from the female and collects the eggs in his mouth and blows them into a nest of bubbles that he built before starting the spawning process. They continue this process of press collect for some time until the female is spawned out. After spawning is finished the male will care for the eggs and young until he thinks the young are able to look after themselves.
Bettas are egg layers. The male will blow a cluster of bubbles on the surface of the water and flare his fins at the female to impress her (kind of like a peacock). When the male and female are both willing, the female lays eggs and the male fertilizes them. Then the male will then carry the eggs up to the bubblenest, where he protects them until they hatch.

Can sucker fish suck water?

Your going to have to be more specific.

There are 100's of catfish which could be named suckerfish.

I assume you are talking about a pleco of some species though,

And they grow to a size depending on your tank.

A common pleco is known to grow up to two feet in a 12ft fish tank,

but you can put it in a 2ft fish tak with other fish and it may never even get to 12cm

How do angler fish catch its prey?

To keep a good balance give them a high quality flake food or pellet everyday. Feed brine shrimp (either live or frozen) or blood worms as a treat. You can even feed them lettuce or spinach. Feed mosquito larvae sparingly as they will tend to overeat it, which could kill them.

Angelfish eat the average fish food. If you have a fish store near you, go and ask a employee to direct you to the fish food section. And you will probably find a can of fish food with an Angelfish on it. Good luck!

Angelfish are omnivorous, but in captivity they should be fed a variety of flakes, pellets and frozen food.

flake food,pellet,brine shrimp,blood worms,lettuce,spinach,mosquito

alot

They are omnivorous; so they eat algae, zooplankton, and small crustaceans and fish.

it eats pelets and flakes flake fish food. the plants in their environment

What are some adaptations of a clown fish?

Clown fish have adapted in many different ways. But the biggest thing is using sea anemones. The sea anemone produces a type of electricity that would shock all predators or prey but not the clown fish. So the sea anemone gives the clown fish a safe place to live and in return the clown fish brings food for the anemone.

The clown fish don't get stung b brushing their scales with the tentacles of an anemone. The oils of a clown fish are read by the anemone as friend not foe.

Can you feed sea monkeys to goldfish?

No, the sea monkeys are just genetically altered brine shrimp. Brine shrimp are great for fish, even better live. They're super easy to raise, and not too expensive to get everything going. Just make sure you pick out healthy ones, and drop them into your tank. Great for other fish too if you have them.

Do goldfish live longer in a tank or in the wild?

Yes, they can live in small ponds.
As feral fish yes, but they are not native to any wild waterways as they are an ornamental, man made, fish species. They were bred from bronze-coloured wild Carassius species of carp (you can still see this bronzing in some "reverted" Goldfish, specifically black ones which go bronze as they get older).

The previous answer mentioned size. Common/Comet (long-bodied) Goldfish are all genetically programmed to get around 10"-12" in length excluding fins. They are strictly pond fish. The shorter bodied Fancy Goldfish get between 5"-10" in body length excluding fins. Fancies need at least 20 US gallons (75 litres) per fish, Commons at least 40 US gallons (150 litres) per fish, preferably more. In ponds the pond must be over 600 US gallons (2,270 litres).

Are seafood and fish the same thing?

How do fish use their swim bladder to float or sink?

If the bladder is filled with gas it will expand slightly and the fish will gain size but loose some relative weight so it will rise in the water. If the opposite happens the bladder shrinks in size therefore the fish has less size for its relative weight and the fish sinks.
Fish's swim bladder affect its overall density by increase the fish's volume, therefor the fish's overall density decreases, it keeps the fish from sinking in water.
By adjusting the amount of gas in the swim bladder, a fish can change its buoyancy allowing it to move up and down in the water column. A submarine can pump water into and out of its ballast tanks to achieve the same effect.
