When I go my new aquarium, I had to wait awhile to add fish.  Are conditions similar in large public aquariums?

Its possible to artificially 'cycle ' a tank by the carefull addition of ammonia, building up to the ammount of ammonia slowly up to the amount that will be produced by a fully occupied tank.  Then when the fish are added there is enough bacteria to break the ammonia down into nitrite/ nitrate, the tank is therefore already cycled and you then get no 'new tank syndrome'.  I pressume they would do it this way.

I would suggest no but check out this site to make sure were talking about the same fish

Fish have a what is known as a slime coat, or mucous layer all over thier body. This layer is continually rubbed off and worn off. It helps keep of bacteria and some parasites.\n\nSome fish with take a brief sabd bath or mud bath on the bottom substrate. While others enlist the aid of others. Many large marine fish will have a cleaner shrimp or cleaner wrasse pick off parasites.\n\nIn general fish do not get dirty, so there is no real reason for them to keep clean.\n\nThey have a slime coat for protection against cuts and scrapes and parasites, and that is all they need.

Hey!  I'm moving to Hawaii and I plan to do the same thing for my kids and me!  I can't wait.\n\nAbout.com has some really good information on this subject and I've been using it to pick out what I need from the pet store.  Here is a link to their salt water tank checklist,  http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/bcorsettingup/a/blqachklist_2.htm\n\nGood luck.

Bass will be coming up to the shallows looking for spawning areas and food, try a plastic worm with a small weight in and around the lilly pads (texas rig style)hook point in the worm to prevent hooking the pads. Try green spinner baits around the timber letting it sink close to bottom. Most people reel crankbaits so fast only the most active fish will bite, slow down :D

Of course there might problem with your PC. It might slow so you need to wait after clicking save or compose.

Obviously you dont know how things work.\n\nCheck this out, a fish cannot give birth to a different species fish. What if a mutation occurs and the fish has a extra fin? Due to natural selection that fish is better suited to the environment, and mates more and the mutation becomes more often, vwooleh, we have a new species of fish assuming the other just pure breeds or it has migrated away.\n\nWe all started very basic, that basic thing mutates and mutates into say 10 basic things, those basic things become more complex and so those 10 basic things multiply into 100 more complex things each only breeding within its own mutation.

The spawning fish is a Grunion.\n\nOn the second question I can't help you.

Put a fish in the water and see if it dies, if it doesnt then there is oxygen in the water. If it does then shame you have to buy another fish!!!

It may be difficult right now, but you could tell him that "some fish are for looking at and some are for eating". Assure him that the ones he sees at the store are the viewing ones that don't get eaten. However, you may be surprised how he reacts, I love fishing but I am also big on fishkeeping. I don't care much for eating the fish (catch them for someone else), but that's because of the texture and taste not the killing part.

If you did not contact the city about what you are doing, be careful, because the EPA needs to approve any work that will impact an existing stream/body of water. The fines can be pretty stiff if you get caught. I recommend installing it on a Sunday when municipal offices are closed.

All fish look for the same thing. Locations that offer shelter from predators and either a good ambush spot to feed on prey or a spot where they can expend little energy and large amounts of food will drift past them. Happy fishing

I doubt your fish is hydrophobic.  It probably just doesn't have a big enough tank.  Get it a bigger one with a lid.  Maybe a little scuba diver and some plants.  Maybe even a friend.  Maybe she's depressed.

With the exception of lungfish, most fish don't last long out of water because they can't breathe.  They die within minutes As well, they can't move at all so they are sitting prey for predators. In hot weather, they also dry out quickly.

Maybe the HCl concentration is too high?  Pepsin is active at pH 2.5.  Also how do you know the 'fish sample' is actually being broken down by pepsin?

Em, that is kind of personal ya know. Bathing is such a lonely business. Well, except for fish i mean. I have been known to hum a few bars of the William Tell overture while practicing my rope climbing in the shower but tinkling in the drain doesn't do much for me. I usually save that for public places.
