Do fish poop? Wow, what a question. Let’s talk about poo baby and does a fish indeed poo.
Firstly id like to premice by saying I’m pretty sure I’ve seen fish poop. I’m sure most of us have even those that are not typical hobbyists.
There are a few clues that will help us in determining if fish dispose of faecal matter! Let’s take a little look at those clues.
We know that other animals and sea creatures poop take the sea cucumber this crazy creature poops sand how amazing is that?
Everyone that’s owned a fish tank and kept fish. Would have lost some water to evaporation some small loss is inevitable and perfectly fine. But left unattended over a short period of time can harm the fish and destroy the whole cycling of the tank!.
Why is my fish tank water evaporating?
Given there’s no leak it’s one of three things overheating overstocking or filtration issues! Check all equipment starting with the heater.
As said above there are a few reasons for Evaporation/water loss. Beginning with overheating caused by equipment mismanagement or failure. Ie Heater set too high or broken and staying on too long and or not turning off once heated to the desired temperature.
You can keep them they will clean the tank too. They have five superpowers The main ones bieng pooing perfect sand and bieng able to shoot its intestines out and regrow them!.
Yes, indeed they still exist and can be found in the colder waters of our oceans and seas. There are around sixty-seventy species of hagfish.
They live in groups big groups of around 15000 that’s a big family. They live primarily on the ocean floor.
You could but it’s messy slimy not advisable. They have five hearts. With a skull but no backbone or spine, they can breathe & take nutrients via their skin & go months without eating.
The Best Thing About Our Mate Hagfish Tho Is The slime factor. This amazing creature has around one hundred slime glands across its body.
Chitons are sea molluscs that have 8 plates for a shell with 100 eyes over these plates they process a huge foot to grab rocks. It also has a radula of rows of teeth for eating algae chitons can regrow teeth quicker than they lose them they can also roll into a ball like a woodlouse!.
However this shrimp has picked up another monika as its become feard in the warm tropical seas where its from.
So you got yourself a 100l Tank and want to know how long it will take to heat the water to the required temperature?.
Generally, a 100 Watt heater. Will heat the tank’s water within a few hours but id give it 24 hours and use a separate thermometer. To make sure the water is maintaining its heat and that you have an accurate reading!
There are a few things to look into, however. Let’s take a more in-depth look at heating an aquarium for the safekeeping of our Fish!.
As stated above 100 watts will easily heat a 100-litre tank. But 50 Watts is just about enough to heat 100l or 20 gallons of Tank.
IceFish have a way of taking protiens and salt in to thier blood and bodily fluids lowering the freezing point of water these protiens also stop crysle & Ice from forming in or on thier bodies.
Fish are indeed colourful. Especially Tropical Fish but how do they get those colours?.
Can Fish change their colours? If So How?.
The colour of a fish is produced by three colour pigments primarily contained within cells called Chromatophores. These pigments are Erythrin (Red), Melanin (Black), and Xanthin (Yellow) each of which occurs in different chromatophores. The colour pigments are complemented by Irridocytes, best described as tiny reflective spheres within the skin.
Fish have pigments inside their cells. These cells carry a number of different colours red black and yellow. When two or more of these colours are mixed they provide yet another colour.
Getting involved with keeping fish is amazing. As we go on we have more elaborate ideas for scaping our tanks and what fish to actually keep.
But when we start out we don’t pay enough attention as to the lid or no lid on our tanks!. So Do Fish Tanks Need A Lid?.
For beginners yes as it’s much easier. Slows evaporation issues prevent children and pets as well as dirt and other objects from getting in the tank and stop fish and water from escaping!.
Well, there are a good few reasons for keeping a lid on your aquarium. The main reason would be the slowing down of evaporation. As a tank owner, this can be a real problem.
