Most fishes never come to the surface for air. Most 'breath' water, extracting oxygen from water they pump across their gills. Frequently fish in oxygen depleted water will rise to the surface and take in water from just below the surface because there is usually a higher concentration of oxygen there. Fish 'gasping' at the surface of an aquarium or pond usually indicates that the water quality has deteriorated.
There are some fishes with specialized gills that allow them to breath air directly, and obtain some of their oxygen in that manner. These fishes usually are found in water with normally low oxygen levels, as may be found in bogs and swamps. The ability to breath air directly sometimes diminishes the ability some species to obtain all of their oxygen from the water, so these fish usually need to visit the surface periodically each day.
There are also obligate air breathers who must obtain most of their oxygen from the air. Lungfish are an example. Mudskippers are another example of air-breathing fish. Such creatures are, however, unsuited for life on land, and must exist at least partially in the water. There is a great variety of adaptation and variety among fishes in breathing and related activities. Even air breathing fish must remain moist at all times. The ability of fishes to breath air and/or water covers a broad spectrum, generally dictated by environmental factors.
Just like in your fish tank you have to clean it out so when you do you either do that often so you can get air in the water or you haves bubbler so in the ocean it has rivers making bubbles constantly or even the rain will do it
Their is an air chamber in most fishes just like in submarines. When it gets filled with air the fish moves up. While, when air is released the fish moves down. This is precisely what happens in a submarine.
An electric air pump oxygenates the water in an aquarium, this allows the fish in the fish tank to breath. if there was no air pump the water would lose its oxygen and the fish would drown.
They blow air bubbles which may mean a sign of lack of air or they may be pregnant and are making a nest for the eggs.
A gulpy? Instead of a guppy.
They need to come up for air, unlike fish.
whales have to come up to the surface for air fish don't
Every time it needs a breathe.
Whales don't lay eggs and they have to come up for air unlike fish which lay eggs and don't need to come up for air because they breathe under water.
Fish come to the surface of the water to breathe air, regulate their body temperature, search for food, or escape predators.
If you are referring to the Pleco, then no. They are a fish and fish use gills to extract oxygen from the water. In poor water conditions you may notice fish staying at the top of the water almost like the are gasping for air, however most species of fish can not take air directly from the...well....air.
Dolphins are not fish they are mammals or air breathing creatures that live underwater and come up for air like whales . ps.dolphins are part of the whale family
No, they need air, filtrtion and regulated temperature. Not many fish can be kept in bowls.
Labyrinth fish, or Anabantoids, are fish that possess a lung-like labyrinth organ that allows them to gulp and breathe air. Some species are popular aquarium fish like the Siamese fighting fish and many kinds of gouramis.
No, because Bettas can breathe air directly from the surface.
puffer fish
Water is to fish - as air is to animal.
