Fish

A flathead minnow is a small freshwater fish native to North America. It is commonly used as a bait fish for fishing due to its hardiness and availability. Flathead minnows are also used in scientific research for aquatic toxicity testing.

No. Depending where (the depth) the fish eats and hunts for food, his belly will blend with his surrounding, either ponds, oceans, lakes, and that determines how the sun shines through the water at what depths. All of these things, plus if he swims in large schools or not, help determine his markings and colorings. Oh, also mating season will come into play with some fish's markings being darker or brighter.

Perch fish are carnivorous and primarily feed on zooplankton, insects, small fish, crustaceans, and aquatic invertebrates. They are opportunistic feeders and will consume whatever prey is most readily available in their environment.

I think this comes from an old joke asking for three fish that start and end with 'K'. The answer that is usually given is:- 1. Killer SharK 2. Kentucky Fried haddocK3. KilmarnocK When the victim of the joke questions the last answer with 'Kilmarnock? - That's not a fish!' The perpetrator says: 'oh yes it is..... it's a place (plaice) in Scotland.' Don't blame me for the groan, I didn't invent the joke :-)

Fish can perceive vibrations in the water through a specialized sensory system called the lateral line. This allows them to detect movement and potential threats, but they do not have external ears like humans do to hear sounds in the air.

They don't have to, but for smaller fish, it ensures greater protection. Schools of fish are a part of what is called "clumped distribution" in which a population is found in high densities. Usually this is because of certain abiotic factors that are concentrated, but in the case of fish, clumped distribution decreases the chance that an individual will become prey.

Fish breathe through their gills, which are specialized organs that extract oxygen from water. As fish swim, water passes over their gills, where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is released. This process allows fish to extract oxygen from water and use it for respiration.

Tilapia fish are considered to be bottom feeders because the fish will eat anything available. The fish prefer a vegan diet but due to overcrowding in fish farms, they will eat the waste of the other fish. Some farms actually use the Tilapia fish to clean after other types of fish before selling both to markets.

The answer to your question is :Labyrinth Fish. From a developmental the labyrinth fish are relatively young. Anabantoidei contains 5 families with more then 80 species classified into 18 genera. Labyrinth fish colonize Africa as well as Southeast Asia. The labyrinth fish is an adaptation to the oxygen poor waters the Anabantoidei typically inhabit, allowing the fish to breathe atmospheric air.

Newly hatched sultan fish are typically small in size and have translucent bodies with underdeveloped fins. They rely on yolk sacs for nutrition initially and are vulnerable to predation in the wild. They often stay close to cover and shoal together for protection.

Milkfish, also known as bangus, are found in the warm coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. They prefer shallow lagoons, estuaries, and freshwater areas with high salinity levels. Milkfish are commonly found in Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like the Philippines and Indonesia.

Fish and most other aquatic animals release their sperm and eggs into the water. The female fish lays the eggs first. The male then swims over them and releases sperm onto them. The eggs and sperm are fertilized outside of the fish's body, in the water.

No, the Catalpa is not a fish. It is a type of tree known for its large heart-shaped leaves and clusters of white flowers.

=== === This is just a suggestion but why not get a filter or get 2 smaller tanks, one for each of the puffers? What your experiencing is a bloom of oppertunistic bacteria which often occurs with new,un-cycled aquariums. I would recommend doing several large 50% water changes until it starts to look less cloudy but make sure to match the temperature of the tank water when doing so. You may also want to use a de-clouding agent which is available at most pet stores. You may want to invest in a stronger filtration system. Also it is a good idea to buy a bottle of "bacteria in a bottle' to help your tank cycle faster. Make sure to always use a water conditioner when you change water.

Fish lack the physical adaptations needed for flight, such as wings or strong enough muscles to sustain flight. Additionally, their bodies are optimized for swimming in water, which is more dense and requires different adaptations than air. Thus, fish are not capable of flying like birds or insects.

Depends, If the hook goes down the throat into the belly the fish is as good as dead. If the hook is in the hard tissues around the opening of the mouth there is a very good chance he will shake it free.

Gills are the adaptation that enables a fish to extract oxygen from water and release carbon dioxide. This allows fish to respire efficiently while living underwater.

It is possible for a fish to survive without its front fins, but it may face challenges with swimming, balance, and catching prey. The fish may need to adapt its movements and behaviors to compensate for the loss of its fins.

Carp can live up to 20-30 years in the wild, but in captivity or recreational fishing environments their lifespan may be shorter. Factors such as water quality, diet, and environment can influence their longevity.

Marlins typically live up to 10-15 years in the wild, although some have been known to live longer. Factors such as habitat, food availability, and predation can influence their lifespan.

The response of receptor cells to odorants is, like other neuronal cells, variable depending on the conditions. There may not be enough of the odorant to stimulate an action potential; scavenger enzymes in the mucus layer may breakdown the odorant particles before they have a chance to bind to the receptor; or the receptor activation may cause an alternative signalling pathway to operate, preventing depolarisation. Even if a receptor does depolarise, it will eventually become adapted to the presence of the odorant and stop reacting to it. This is why, on encountering a strong smell that initially overwhelms you, after a few minutes you will fail to notice it any more. However, if you were to suddenly take a sharp intake of breath, you'd become aware of the smell again; the action of suddenly inhaling odorant-laden air exposes more of the olfactory epithelium to a greater amount of stimulus, which results in more action potentials.(smell@Everything2.com)

Puffer fish typically live for about 5 to 10 years in the wild, but some species have been known to live up to 20 years. In captivity, they can live even longer, sometimes reaching up to 15-25 years depending on the species and quality of care provided.

Arctic Cod are meat eaters who prefer hunting at night. Arctic Cod eat other cod, mussels, worms, haddock, and sand eels.

The answer is smelt. Caught in rivers emptying into Lake Superior by net when they swim up stream to spawn.
