Fish

Fish do have tongues according to all the fish I had seen in my life.
Yes, they have small tongues. As I discovered during a rather gruesome dissection of a mackerel.

(McCulloch, 1926)

The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus)[1] is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of the Australian mainland and Tasmania.[2] Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans. Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front of it. It can be caught by bottom trawling with nets.

Contrary to popular belief, feeding a dog a diet of raw meat, organs and bones is said to be incredibly beneficial to the the animal, and with limited risk. However, creating a nutritionally complete diet takes a lot of research in order to get the balance right.

Dogs have evolved to digest raw meat. Even our furry friends are not all that different from their wild cousins; they are all perfectly adapted to eat raw meat, organs and even bone and to digest it all quickly and efficiently. Fresh, raw meat provides them with all the nutrition they need.. Cooked meat, in comparison, has little to no nutrients in it as all the nutrients are easily destroyed when the meat is cooked or even heated for a short period of time. It is highly advisable to never feed cooked meat as part of a dog or cat's diet as this will not provide your pet with the nutrients it needs and can cause severe health problems.

What about bacteria? Dogs are carnivores. They need meat in their diet. The canine digestive system is not like ours; their stomach and intestines quickly break down the meat, organ and bone to the molecular level and absorb them, and the leftover parts are expelled as waste. Meat does not stay in the animal's intestines long enough to allow harmful bacteria to grow and harm it. In comparison, a human's digestive system is much, much slower and food spends most of its time in the gut where the food is processed. This allows harmful bacteria to multiply which makes us vulnerable to salmonella and ecoli.

Harmful bacteria such as salmonella can and has been found in processed pet foods - causing brands to recall their products. While raw has a small risk (as with feeding all foods), you can control where the meat you feed your pet comes from and greatly limit the chance of buying contaminated food.

Many commercially-processed meats are full of bacteria due to the animals kept in cramped and unsanitary conditions which is never a good idea to feed raw. If you wish to feed raw to your cat or dog, Organic or Free Range meat is the safest choice as the meat would have come from hormone-free animals kept in sanitary conditions. Freezing the meat for several weeks will help kill off any bacteria.

Always practice safe food handling techniques when handling ANY raw meat - whether it is for you or your pet. It might be advisable to take extra care with very young, very old or animals with compromised immune systems.

The benefits are said to far outweigh any small risk:

• Glossy coats, healthy skin, bright eyes.
• Teeth & gums are kept healthy and free of plaque as the chewing action rubs off any plaque and keeps the blood flow in the gums active.
• Allergies & sensitive stomachs can become non-existant as raw food is not packed with cheap filler such as grain or corn.
• Smaller/less frequent bowel movements that do not smell as much compared to some cats and dogs on commercial diets.
• Some dogs are fussy eaters, and many cats and dogs will just gulp down their food. Raw food stops that, as they have to work at the meat to get mouth-sized pieces. Pets that quickly get bored of their food rarely get bored of raw as the taste and texture is different for every meal.
• It has been said that a raw-fed dog is rarely hyperactive. Instead, they have a healthy amount of energy. This also has said to help behaviour problems with adolescent dogs and are much easier to solve the issues due to the lack of hyperactivity.

Step 1: first, get a cup/bowl and put 25% to 50% of the water from the tank into a bucket.

Step 2: Gently deposit each of your fish into that bucket, temporarily.

Step 3: Get a clean sponge, and wipe the glass inside of the tank. Do NOT use cleaners; they will kill your fish.

Step 4: After that, put clean water in. Make SURE it is ready for FISH to live in it!

Step 5: Reinsert filters, lights, etc.

Step 6: Check with a fish store concerning what the water needs to be before re-introducing the fish! (Salinity; temperature; how oxygenated it is...etc. Used to be that you had to wait 24 hours before putting the fish back in but I don't know if that has changed or not.

Put your fish from the buck into the tank, one at a time.

Step 7: DUMP the dirty water from all buckets you used.

Step 8: Enjoy your new, clean fish tank!

You shouldn't keep pebbles or fake plants in the tank because they cause bacteria and that kills fish.

When you clean a tank and you do have gravel you need to take the gravel out and put new in if you like.

You should not clean it with chemicals or soap that will kill the fish to i think you should just scrub it down with just a wet cloth so you get the stuff out of the tank.
