Blood Parrot

1- The Blood parrot (also known as bloody parrot and blood parrotfish) is a hybrid cichlid. 

2- The fish was first created in Taiwan in around 1986. 

3- Its parentage is unknown, but the most commonly speculated pairings are midas cichlid with the redhead cichlid. 

4- This hybrid cichlid has various anatomical deformities, one of the most obvious, and also deadly, deformities is its mouth, which only has very narrow vertical opening. 

5- This makes blood parrot very hard to feed. 

6- Many die eventually because of this. 

7- Cichlid enthusiasts have called for their removal from the market and organized boycotts against pet stores that sell them.

★ Catfish can taste with any part of its body.

★ They have taste buds distributed all over the surface of their entire body — about 25 buds per square millimeter. This allows the catfish to find food in dark, stained, or muddy water with relative ease.

★ Catfish is the only animal having an ODD number of whiskers naturally.

Lungfish — Only fish that HIBERNATES !

★ Lungfish can survive in very little and even without water.

 
★ The South American lungfish do this by digging a hole in the bottom mud where they build a nest in which they remain until water levels raises again.

★ The African lungfish have taken this a step further and covers their body with a secretion. 

★ This secretion dries to a leathery cocoon that helps the lungfish to survive until the water returns. 

★ The lungfishes remain dormant until the water returns and they will lower their metabolism during the hibernation period which allows them to consume very little to survive. They can survive up to two years in this way.

★ Having developed lungs, it is also 1 of the fish that can breathe below water as well as above water ;O

Goldfish are one of the most popular types of freshwater fish that you can purchase. Your average Goldfish can live to be up to 5 years old or more. These fish come in a variety of different colors and varieties.

Fan Tail Goldfish: These fish are slender in shape and have long, flowing tails

Ryukin: These fish have somewhat pointed heads and are usually black, white and orange in color

Oranda: These fish have what looks like a cap on their heads

Comet: These fish are very slender and often times they are sold as feeder fish

There are many other types of Goldfish. You can even purchase Goldfish that have bubble eyes.

Goldfish will cost you around $5.00 per fish. They are a great choice for somebody who is a beginner in the fish hobby.

Goldfish are not as easy to take care of as you might think. You cannot simply place a Goldfish into a bowl and expect it to live. You must place a bubbler in the tank to supply the fish with oxygen. If you do not use a bubbler you must use a filter system. The filter system will shoot oxygen bubbles into the fish tank as well.

Goldfish are very dirty fish. You will want to place a filter on the fish tank. You will need to clean the water at least once every 2 weeks. You will also need to clean the filter system as well. Remember that you must change the filter cartridges when you perform a water change.

Goldfish can grow to be over 5 inches in length. You will need to have one inch of fish per gallon. If you have one 5 inch fish, you will need at least a 5 gallon fish tank to keep this fish alive.

Never feed your Goldfish fish flakes by placing them on top of the water. Goldfish will suck air in while they are trying to eat the Goldfish flakes. When a Goldfish sucks in too much air it will develop swim bladder problems. If your fish has swim bladder problems it will swim upside down.

You can purchase many Goldfish for your tank but you will want to stick with the same variety of Goldfish.

Make sure to fast your fish and avoid feeding them at least one day per week to avoid them getting constipated. This will also cause swim bladder problems.

Temperature: Goldfish love cold water. The tank will stay at around 75 degrees. You don’t need to purchase a heater.

Avoid placing the tank near windows and heating vents because this will cause the temperature to fluctuate.

Goldfish are very beautiful fish. I have had many Goldfish over the years. They are my favorite freshwater fish.

The common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light.
