Why is fish called cold blooded animal?

One reason might be the 'false economy' of having to heat up their bodies. Approximately 80% of human energy goes towards heating our bodies to a stable temperature. However, for fish and reptiles to do this, it may not have been a evolutionary advantage. For example snakes and crocodiles can gorge themselves on one large meal and then not have to feed again for months. This would not be possible if they had a 'central heating system'. Likewise fish would need to devote large amounts of energy towards heating up their bodies in colder water and it makes sense for them to merely adapt to it instead. An example of this is the fact that although fish are exothermic, many species are capable of surviving in large temperature variations (so long as they are not too rapid) that would quickly kill most mammals. Therefore although mammals are warm blooded, they are far less tolerant of changes in temperature that deviate too far from whatever their species ideal is.

What does it mean to be a fish out of water?

It simply means you're out of your 'comfort zone'.

Taking someone into a new situation or place - would be like taking a fish out of water - a totally alien concept.

Are fish classified as reptiles?

No. Fish are one of the five families of vertebrates (animals with backbones) that include fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals.

Fish are similar to reptiles being cold blooded, they lay eggs, and have scales, but are different from reptiles as fish breathe through gills and live exclusively underwater, whereas reptiles breathe through lungs on land. Fish lay eggs that have thin membranes (skins) in water. Reptiles usually lay eggs with thick leathery skins on land.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------BUT,fish pretty much evoled to make reptiles.so if you look at it,reptiles are like land living fish!both have scales and most lay eggs...

a FISH is definitely NOT A REPTILE.... fish are in the family of fishes. and although they seem like a reptile with teeth, scales and dinosaur-like, they are completely different from reptiles like their insides, fins and skills.

hope my answer helped! :)

What kind of fresh water fish don't need a heater other than goldf fish?

It is best that all fish have a filter besides Betta fish. Betta fish don't need filters cause the filter pushes them over with their big fins. Goldfish should have a filter on there tank because they are often overfed. If you have a filter you won't have to change the water as often. The only fish that shouldn't have a filer in captivity are Betta fish.

Are all fish cold blooded?

All fish are Ectotherm which means they rely primarily on outside sources of heat to maintain proper temperature, however, there are a few species who can produce slightly higher amounts of heat, either to specific points of the body or it's entirety to aid in hunting or digesting.
Not all fish are cold-blooded. Some fish are warm-blooded such as sharks, tuna and swordfish. As the temperatures in the water changes, the body temperatures of the fish will change also.
Yes,because they live in water and they are not mammals
