What does it mean when a blue jay makes it body puff up?
Blue jays use a visual display such as puffing their wings up, flapping their tail-feathers, or wing spreading in order to make themselves appear larger and more formidable. They use this display to ward off potential predators as well as to show the member of the opposite sex how strong and healthy they are for a choice as a mate.
Do puffer fish poison you?
All fish tend to over-eat and can get bloated and die. Any over eating fish can rupture - I think exploding is expecting for too much.
Do pea dwarf puffer fish puff up?
yes dwarf puffer's will puff up. but please try to avoid this as puffing up is a defense mechanisum and will decrease your puffers immune system, and life span. puffing up is extremly stressful for the fish and can put pressure on internal organs which leads to shortened life span and lowered immune system. i have a dwarf puffer and have done some extensive research on it and it's care. also when a puffer puffs up there is also a chance it will draw in air which will cause floation difficultlies and can lead to death by suffocation, as they will float to the top of the water and their gills will be out of the water hence they suffocate. i have read that if this happens and you catch it quick enough you can help them to deflate by holding them nose down (i think) under the water allowing the air to escape without the puffer suffocating but you would need to research that on the net to be certain. hope this helps!
How do butterfly fish reproduce?
Clown fish live and breed in colonies of sea anemone. They are the only fish immune to the poison of the sea anemone, and this keep them safe. The female lays her eggs in rows on rocks that are protected by the arms of the anemone and the male deposits his sperm on the eggs immediately afterward. It is then the male's job to take care of the eggs until they hatch. If he doesn't do his job to the female's satisfaction, she may force her original mate to find a new home and choose a new mate from the younger generation of males who also live in the anemone colony, who will be more diligent in his protection of the eggs.
