Most animals are bulk feeders. They eat relatively large pieces of food. Many vertebrates, including ourselves, are bulk feeders. Both carnivores and herbivores may use the same feeding mechanism.

Zooplankton are herbivorous micro-organisms such as protozoa that are found in water bodies. They depend upon producers for food and hence are not producers.

Corys will eat food that drops to the bottom but are not algae eaters, although they do enjoy veggie wafers occasionally. Otos especially enjoy brown algae.

Fish Personalities Goldfish and koi are both friendly fish and are not usually aggressive, although both will readily devour anything they are able to fit into their mouths. Larger koi, for example, have been known to eat small water-dwelling animals such as frogs.

Level Two: Herbivores On the ocean's surface waters, microscopic animals—zooplankton, which include jellyfish and the larval stages of some fish, barnacles, and mollusks—drift across the sea, grazing opportunistically. Larger herbivores include surgeonfish, parrotfish, green turtles, and manatees.

A fish, caught by a heron in Nokomis, Florida, has another fish in its mouth. These secondary consumers in the food chain prey on other organisms. Producers, such as plants, create their own nutrients, while primary consumers, also called herbivores, rely on producers for food.

The diet of the pufferfish includes mostly invertebrates and algae. Large specimens will even crack open and eat clams, mussels, and shellfish with their hard beaks. Poisonous puffers are believed to synthesize their deadly toxin from the bacteria in the animals they eat.

#1. There a quite a variety of birds that eat fish such as the ones that have been the topic of previous posts: herons, ospreys, cormorants and kingfishers and there's even the fish eating owl!

Many fish are much more flavorful and can be cooked in different ways. Musky are not one of these fish. Can you eat them? Yes certainly, but in my opinion, fishing for these majestic creatures is far more enjoyable than eating them.

Herbivores: Organisms that eat plants are not only called primary consumers. ... Owls are carnivores because they eat rodents and birds. Some insects are carnivores. If a carnivore eats an herbivore, it is also called a secondary consumer.

Animals that eat fungi and plants are omnivores. Fungi are not part of either the animal or plant kingdoms, so eating plants takes an animal out of the herbivore classification because they do not eat exclusively plants.

['Loggerhead: Hatchlings are omnivores (meaning they eat both animals and plants) but adults are carnivores, favoring crabs, whelks, and conchs.', 'Green: Fully grown sea turtles are herbivores and like to hang around coral reefs to scrape off seagrass and algae.']

Fish are obviously animals because they move, they have sensory organs (eyes, mouth, barbels), and they have body structure (skeletons, skin, etc.). They breathe oxygen. They eat other organisms to survive. Fish are different from other animals because they live in water.

Yabbies are true scavengers so will eat almost any sinking food that fish eat as well as disks of carrot, peas, potato peels, spinach and most fruit. They will also eat aquatic plants and the carcasses of dead or dying fish. Don't feed them chunks of meat but the occasional garden worm is a nice treat.

The Food Chain of Saltwater Fish At the bottom of the food chain are microscopic plants and at the top are well-known predators like sharks and seabirds. Depending on their size and place within the food web/food chain, fish serve a variety of purposes and help to balance the ecosystem in many ways.
