Most dinosaurs likely reproduced by mating, with the male using a cloaca to transfer sperm to the female's cloaca. This method of reproduction is similar to how modern birds reproduce. While the exact mating behaviors of dinosaurs are still a topic of research and debate, this is the current understanding based on fossil evidence and comparisons to modern relatives.

Sharks reproduce through internal fertilization. The male shark uses his claspers to insert sperm into the female shark's cloaca. The female then fertilizes her eggs internally, which eventually develop and hatch inside her body before being born live or laid as eggs.

The Balloon molly is a Black Molly (Poecilia sphenops) that has been bred with a deformed spine. (It was an inevitable accident of (bad) inbreeding) This deformity shortens the fishes lifespan. If this deformity had occured in any fish I had bred I would have euthanased the fish rather than perpetuate a deformity. I personally believe that the breeders who deliberately breed and allow this deformed fish to be sold are doing the wrong thing by the species.

The guppy was "Lebistes reticulatus" for many many years but now the taxonomists in their ultimate wisdom, have decided that the guppy should be in the same classification as the Molly. Now the Guppy is correctly called "Poecilia reticulata".

A fish with limbs is called a Coelacanth, which have recently been discovered alive.

If you are losing water in your tank, it is probably because of evaporation. No matter if you have a fish bowl or a fish tank, if it's in direct sunlight, the water's gonna evaporate. Another way you could be losing water is something called "fish intake". Most fish absorb water through their skin, and they replace it with their... bodily fluids. And most of what the fluids are is carbon dioxide and other things that take the place of water. Now there's more air in there and less water. Hope you find this useful!

P.S.-- If you find that the water is lower because of fish intake, add a bit of water IMMEDIATELY!!! The lack of water means lack of oxygen. Your fish could suffocate!

P.P.S-- On that cheerful note, good-bye!
