Are fish born in water?

fish can live in water because they have gills.


What temperature do fish require?

i think that the body temperature for a fish is usually the same as the ambient temperature of the water in which it naturally lives.


How do bony fish regulate temperature?

Since most fish are bony this would count for all cold-blooded fish (minus cartilaginous ones such as the shark or sting ray). Because fish are cold-blooded or exothermic they change body temperature according to the water temperature. In order to regulate their temperature they either move to warmer or colder water, or they change the blood flow to blood vessels near the surface of there skin or fins and use this to change the rate in which they change color. Since the colder the water the slower the animal (in the case of cold blooded animals) many fish live in warmer waters, but there are still fish that live as far up as the arctic or as far down as the coast of Antarctica .


Can tropical fish live in cold water?

Whether or not a tropical fish can survive in cloudy water depends on why the water is cloudy. If there has been a spike in ammonia or nitrates, it can be deadly to fish. Tropical species tend to be more sensitive to severe water changes than freshwater fish.


What are the three adaptations that allow fish to live in water?

Some of the adaptations that allow fish to live in the water are gills, fins, and scales. The gills allow the fish to live in the water. The gills allow the fish to extract oxygen from the water. The fins allow the fish to swim through the water and help it stear itself. For the scales I'm not sure!
