Betta Fish
Ever wonder exactly what fish you could own for a household pet that would be the best suited for you? Well you could consider getting a gold fish or a guppy but those fish are mind-numbingly boring compared to the breath taking and electrifying betta fish. Betta fish are the best fish to have as pets because of their characteristics, habitat and diet.
The characteristics of a betta fish make them one of the best household pets. Betta fish only grow to 3 inches, so they do not need very much room to live in. Therefore, you would never have to purchase a huge tank. While in their cozy home you can choose to watch your betta fish as they show off one of the many varieties of colors and tails they have and become their best friend. A beta fish has an extraordinary personality as it is filled with friendliness, curiosity and socialization. A beta fish will actually get very acquainted with its owner and they will thrive for the attention their owner will give them. A beta fish can actually fall into depression from the lack of socialization and starve themselves to death. So if you want a fish that will become your best friend and has great characteristics, a betta fish is the way to go.
Betta fish have a really easy habitat to maintain, making them a great household pet. If you would like to keep your betta fish happy and healthy, keep their water clean as no one likes living in dirty surroundings. Avoid letting their water get cool for long periods of time as it will stress them out and make them more vulnerable to diseases. To know if you are doing a good job at upholding their habitat, take a look at it. Its appearance and behavior will tell you how it is feeling. If your betta fish is colorful, active and very interested it what’s going on around it you’re doing good. However, if it is inactive and has frayed fins that is a red flag that something is wrong with his habitat. So be a good owner and keep a betta fish bowl clean, warm and well-kept so it can

    Both the fish and plant do not need much caring for. The plant needs a little bit of water every day, and the fish needs food about twice a day, but that is not nearly what I thought it would take to maintain these organisms. I enjoyed this project; it was very interesting to make two small ecosystems. If I had the chance to do it again with two different organisms I would definitely do it.…

    A fish has long been seen as the perfect “starter pet”. Parents who are skeptical of their children’s ability to care for a larger animal will often present their offspring with a goldfish before introducing a dog or a cat to the household. While it is true that goldfish do not require quite as much attention as their four-legged counterparts, marine pets are not as easy to raise as everybody seems to think. If a fish is to thrive and survive in your care, you must make sure the water in your aquarium is the right temperature, is free of chlorine, and has a low pH level. Failure to adequately prepare the water for your fish will ultimately lead to their death, likely after several weeks of illness and lethargy. Experienced aquarists may be…

    Rumble Fish

    In thinking of film's that are able to exemplify many film elements that are put together in an interesting and organized manner the movie Rumble Fish comes to mind. The director Francis Ford Coppola demonstrates how metaphors are able to help decipher a deeper meaning of the film. Rumble Fish is a film that is about growing up and seeing new things that have never been seen before. The two main characters who are brothers Rusty James and the Motorcycle Boy, experience internal conflicts. Rusty James the younger of the two looks up to his brother and wants to be like him. However the elder has grown out of his previous demeanor of always fighting and he doesn't want his brother to follow in his steps. Throughout the film he ask Rusty James why he is following him. The Motorcycle Boy knows that his brother is somewhat trapped in the city and someone needs to get him out or set him free. He looks to the fish in the pet store to explain this and it is how he relates to his brothers problems. This is the scene that will be examined of when Rusty James is in the pet store with his brother and they are looking at the fish. It has been explained how much everyone in town looks up to the Motorcycle Boy, and on numerous occasions Rusty James said he was going to look like him when he was older. Even though the Motorcycle Boy never shows much affection, he wants something better for his brother, and even though he never tells his brother to leave until the end when he knows he is going to die, he tries to let him know through the fish. So until this point in the movie the viewer never really knows how the Motorcycle Boy feels about his brother.…

    Starfish are among the most familiar of marine invertebrates. They typically have a central disc and five arms, though some species have more than this. The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny, and is covered with overlapping plates. Many species are brightly coloured in various shades of red or orange, while others are blue, grey or brown. Starfish have tube feet operated by a hydraulic system and a mouth at the centre of the oral or lower surface. They have complex life cycles and can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most can regenerate damaged parts or lost arms and they can shed arms as a means of defence…

    Perhaps the first choice one encounters is that of the tank itself. An appropriate tank is the largest one that can be accommodated in one’s home, preferably 25 gallons or more. Larger tanks are easier to maintain than smaller ones. Since a larger tank can hold a larger volume of water, the conditions of the water remain more stable, and are less apt to be affected by unavoidable mechanical failures, as well as waste products of the fish (Thraves 12). If a heater were to fail, the larger volume of water would cool more slowly than would a smaller volume, thus maintaining the conditions of the tank for a much longer period. In addition, a larger aquarium is always more humane for a fish than a smaller one (Kolle 75).…

    Asian carp are threatening to do a lot of damage in the Great Lakes. Asian carp are an aggressive and adaptable fish that can easily out compete other species for food and habitat. Currently there are carp populations in 23 states and they have completely taken over portions of the Illinois and Mississippi rivers (Antonacci, 2014). They reproduce and spread quickly, making them very dangerous to the aquatic ecosystem. Asian carp are slowly making their way up the Illinois River and will eventually threaten the Great Lakes if we cannot find an effective way to stop them.…
