They eat their babies.
All fish eat other fish. Fish are opportunistic feeders, which means that they eat when presented with food, regardless of if they are hungry or not. Fish will eat any dead fish in their tank. If a dies, it needs to be removed right away so it does not spread disease or pollute the water.
Male fish may become more aggressive or protective to defend their mate and offspring from potential threats. Some male fish may also exhibit reproductive behaviors to attract other females to mate with. In some species, males may play no role in parenting and leave all parental care to the female.
It is physically impossible for a human to mate with a penguin. They are two different species with no ability to produce an off spring by the fusion of their sex gametes.
When choosing tank mates for cichlids, it's important to consider fish that can handle their aggressive behavior. Some compatible tank mates for cichlids include certain species of catfish (such as plecos), some species of barbs and tetras, and certain types of bottom-dwelling fish like loaches. It's crucial to research each potential tank mate's compatibility and care requirements before adding them to a cichlid tank.
No, owls typically mate with other owls of the same species. Owls are known for their monogamous behavior, where they form a long-term pair bond for breeding and raising offspring.
A roadrunner can mate with a chicken but generally different species do not mate with each other. If the roadrunner and chicken did mate, the offspring would more than likely be sterile.
Mollys can breed with any other type of molly fish
no. fish can only mate with fish of the same species. Gouramis mate with gouramis and platys mate with platys.
Oscars are cichlids! They are from the South American group of cichlids. Fish can mate only within the same species. Oscars can only mate with other Oscars.
It is mating season for fish when it is really hot and dry.
Do you mean will they mate with other fish or get along with other fish? They will not mate with other fish, but they will get along without tetras.
Obviously one male and one female is needed, but also the temperature of your water must be warm enough as we are talking about tropical fish. Different types of molly can breed, so can different species from their family. Guppy/molly hybrids (gullies) are an example.
Goldfish are cold water fish and should not be kept in an aquarium with a tropical molly. There is no way they can cross breed. Fish are not stupid and do know the difference between one of their own species and a species that should not be in there with them. It is quite possible the goldfish will eventually kill the molly. Failing that, if your tank is not heated, the Molly will probably die during the winter if the temperature gets below 65F for too long anyway.
Asian carps, such as the bighead carp and silver carp, primarily reproduce within their own species. They have specific reproductive behaviors and physiological traits that generally prevent them from successfully mating with other types of fish. While hybridization can occur between closely related species, it is rare and usually produces infertile offspring. Therefore, Asian carps do not typically mate with other fish species.
Mollies can get gravid at a few weeks old.
Badgers mate with other badgers. This is the normal way that sexual reproduction works in any species. Members of a given species mate with other members of the same species. Mating with other species will get them nowhere.
of course, why not?
they do mate with other species of dolphins rarely
