A fish is any aquatic vertebrate animal that is typically ectothermic (or cold-blooded), covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. Fish are abundant in the sea and in fresh water, with species being known from mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) as well as in the deepest depths of the ocean (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish).

Food prepared from fish is also called fish, and it is an important food source for humans. They are harvested either from wild fisheries (see fishing) or farmed in much the same way as cattle or chickens (see aquaculture). They are also exploited by recreational fishers and fishkeepers, and are exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have had a role in many cultures through the ages, ranging from deities and religious symbols to the subjects of books and popular movies.

What other fish can I put with a male betta fish?
Q. I would love to hear any kind of fish, but I would prefer fish that are reasonably clean and easy to take care of like the betta is. My tank (now) has more than enough room for almost any fish. I already know that male bettas do not go together, and I know that species releated to bettas cannot go together. Also, dont say none, I know they can live with other fish, I have seen it before.

A. Hi! Assuming your tank is a min of 5US gallons and is heated with a power filter you can house a small mix of the following: Cardinal tetras Platies Swordtails Female guppies (NO MALES) Mollies Cories Frogs (Not african horn) Bristlenose Plec Otto's Clown Loach (They get huge!) Danios Snails (Apple only!) Shrimp How many you can have and in what combo depends on the tank size and filtration. Join a good forum like SNBA and get more specific advice and tips!

How to cook fish by boiling it?
Q. Hey everyone. Anyone know how to boil fish? I ate some at Old Country Buffet and it tastes much better than fried fish. How long do I boil the water for before putting the fish in? Do I just take the fish fillet and put in the boiling water? Thanks. To edward b: How does steaming work? I'm new at this.

What are some fish that I can put with a Betta Fish in a 10 gallon tank?
Q. Hi- i want to house more fish with my Betta Fish. But, I don't know what to get. I want peaceful, unnippy and colorful fish. Thank you in advance.
Asked by Chris - Sat Mar 17 08:51:15 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well colourful is ruled out for a start, keeping other colourful fish with bettas is risky, it can stress out the betta, or in the case of male guppys or platys, bettas aren't the smartest sometimes and mistake these for other bettas and may attack. fish that can be kept with bettas tend to be smaller more muted quiet fish, in that size tank you could have a trio or foursome of Otocinclus (providing the tank is mature and has lots of algae for them to eat). Or a trio of Khuli Loaches may just fit, if you have a nice sandy substrate. Or a foursome or fivesome of Hasbrosus or Pygmaeus corydoras would work. i would avoid any mid-swimming or top-swimming fish, anything that gets in the bettas way while he's patrolling is likely to get chased… [cont.]
