Fish

Meno fish are primarily herbivorous and feed on algae, plants, and small invertebrates found in their natural habitat. In a home aquarium, they can be fed a diet of high-quality vegetation-based flakes, pellets, and fresh vegetables like zucchini or spinach. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure their nutritional needs are met.

Clownfish are generally not aggressive and do not pose a threat to humans or other fish species. However, they may become territorial and display aggressive behavior towards other fish if they feel their territory is being invaded or if they are protecting their eggs or young. It's important to ensure proper tank setup and space to minimize aggressive behaviors in clownfish.

Nova Scotia is home to a variety of fish species including Atlantic cod, haddock, mackerel, Atlantic salmon, lobster, and various shellfish like scallops and crabs. The province's diverse marine environment supports a rich variety of fish that are important for both commercial fishing and recreational angling.

Blind fish typically do not "see" in the traditional sense because they lack functional eyes or have significantly reduced eyesight. Instead, blind fish rely on other senses such as touch, smell, and a specialized lateral line system that detects vibrations and movement in the water to navigate their environment and locate prey.

Sardines belong to the herring family. The largest size a sardine can grow depends on which species of the herring family it belongs to. The largest size ranges from 26 centimeters to 40 centimeters.

The acidity for tropical fish? I think your referring to the acidity of the water in their aquarium...???

Generally, "tropical fish" do well with a neutral (7.0) or slightly acidic (6.7-6.9) PH level in the water of the tank. This is easy to test using a PH test kit from your pet store.

The acidity of the water is affected by whatever is IN the water with the fish---in the wild, the flora and fauna of the area dictates the PH (acid-neutral-alkaline) of the water. In general most of the common tropical fish (freshwater) sold in pet stores come originally from central/south America and Asia. The waters in these areas are slightly to mid level acidic depending on the time of year. These fish would be the common "community" tropical fish like tetras, gourami's, live bearers (guppies, mollies etc) and algae eaters/scavengers. The larger "cichlids" like Oscars, Jack Dempsy's etc are also from South America but are aggressive.

All do fine with an PH (acidity of 6.8-7.0) as most are commercially raised now anyway.

Don't put "wild" rocks in your tank as they could contain pollutants and be very calcium rich (like sea shells) and raise the PH to above 7.0 into the Alkaline level.

Some fish (like the African Cichlids) prefer a high alkaline environment...

Hope this helped,

Starfish move using tube feet located on the underside of their arms. These tube feet are filled with water, allowing the starfish to create suction and grip onto surfaces as they move. By contracting and expanding these tube feet in a coordinated manner, starfish can slowly crawl along the ocean floor.

No, flounder fish are not poisonous. They are safe to eat and are actually a popular choice in seafood dishes. Just make sure to cook them properly to avoid any foodborne illnesses.

Skate or ray fish have no bones. Only cartilage. I don't know about any freshwater ones one salt ocean.

Yes, flying fish are real. They have adapted to be able to glide above the water surface for considerable distances using their specially adapted fins. This behavior helps them evade predators and cover long distances.

Until the baby is big enough not to be injured by the male

The ghost knife fish uses electricity for navigating its surroundings, communicating with other fish, and detecting prey in dark or murky waters. It has specialized electric organs that help create electric fields, allowing it to sense and interact with its environment.

I'm not an "expert" on BGK but I have had one for almost 4 years now and I can say with great certainty that they are quite friendly with other larger fish. Mine lives with 2 large angelfish, a tiger barb fish a couple of bottom feeders and a plecostomus algae eater. All are healthy and happy and alive. However, I did make the mistake a while back when I purchased several guppies (cute colorful small fishes) and within a few days they had all disappeared. So yes the BGK did kill them but I think they were mistaken for lunch. Basically if the fish is small enough to be eaten by the other fish then it would be unwise to put them in the tank. The BGK has a deceptively large mouth. Also they can be aggressive when placed with other BGK or fish within that Knifefish family. In that case they should be separated in separate tanks. If the tank is big enough (has to pretty large) where the 2 knifefish's can each claim their own territory then it might not be so bad but still probably unwise. I have read that it can be done. Also, because they rely on their built in radar to find their food, having another similar fish can make it difficult for them to find the food (something about frequency being jammed or something to that effect). Makes it harder for them to locate their food.

It is recommended to wait at least 2-3 weeks before adding fish to a new pond. This allows time for the pond's ecosystem to establish and stabilize, ensuring a more hospitable environment for the fish to thrive. Additionally, regularly monitoring water quality parameters such as ammonia, nitrite, and pH levels is crucial before introducing fish.

Also known as the paradise gouramis, it is an ornamental fish typically found in East Asia. It is used in aquariums because of its interesting colors.Some varieties with greatly extended and modified fins and tails have been developed.

If you are looking after one feed it twice a day intill its full grown then only feed it once.They aparrently like to eat live guppies but i do not do that because I belive its cruel.Males are normally only ever aggressive to males.if they are aggressive just put more plants in your'e aquarium

Yes, fish are ectothermic, which means their body temperature is determined by the temperature of their surrounding environment. They cannot regulate their own body temperature internally like endothermic animals can.

the Paroon Shark. It is a catfish that lives in the Mekong River in Vietnam. It is considered a food fish, but most Vietnamese feel it's not tasty, largely because it likes to eat dogs. It's also ugly--not chacid ugly, but definitely not a thing of beauty either. You can probably buy a paroon shark for ten dollars. What makes it expensive is its living habits and sheer size. The paroon shark is a shoaling fish that spawns at 100 inches in length--and is full grown at 120 inches in length. How do you keep such a beast? Easy! Just move to California and dig a two-acre koi pond that's heavily planted and filled with large structures for cover--old apple juice barrels with both ends removed would work. You feed them by cutting a deal with the local animal control office to bring you roadkill. (You don't want the euthanized pets--the drugs they use to kill the pets would kill your fishes.) And make sure to fence the area off, because paroon sharks have foot-long spines that can kill a man sticking out both sides of their heads. And so, because of the logistics of maintaining this animal, I declare the Paroon Shark the world's most expensive fish.

Yes, fish are heterotrophic organisms because they cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis. They rely on consuming other organisms or organic matter to obtain the energy and nutrients they need to survive.

Yes, but they have a closed circulatory system (their hearts have only two valves) and gills instead of lungs.

Some fish species may eat small lizards if they have the opportunity, but it is not a common part of their diet. Fish generally prefer feeding on smaller aquatic creatures like insects, worms, and smaller fish.

No, anglerfish typically live solitary lives, except during mating season when they come together to reproduce. They are deep-sea fish known for their unique reproductive strategy where the much smaller male attaches himself to the much larger female.

The main features of a fish include gills for breathing underwater, fins for swimming, scales covering their bodies, and a streamlined body shape for efficient movement in water. Fish also have a lateral line system that helps them detect movement and vibrations in the water.

John Dory fish (Zeus faber) is found in coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, particularly along the western coasts of Europe and Africa. They are also present in the Mediterranean Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean. John Dory fish are known for their distinctive appearance and delicate flavor.
