Fish

Freshwater fish live in environments like rivers, lakes, and ponds with less than 1.05% salinity and require physiological adaptations to survive in fresh water. Saltwater fish live in oceans and can swim alone or in groups, and are commonly kept as pets or farmed for food. Their diets vary, with herbivores eating algae and plants, carnivores preying on other fish and invertebrates, and omnivores having mixed diets. Freshwater fish food includes worms, insects, and small fish or fish eggs.

Fresh and Saltwater Fish

A fish is an animal which lives and breathes in water. All fish are vertebrates
(have a backbone) and most breathe through gills and have fins and scales.
Fish are cold-blooded, which means their internal body temperature changes
as the surrounding temperature changes
Freshwater fish

Freshwater fish are those that spend some or all of their lives in fresh water, such
as rivers and lakes, ponds, and wetlands with a salinity of less than 1.05%. These
environments differ from marine conditions in many ways, the most obvious being the
difference in levels of salinity. To survive fresh water, the fish need a range
of physiological adaptations.
Saltwater fish

Saltwater fish, also called marine fish, are fish that live


in ocean water. Saltwater fish can swim and live alone or in a large group.
Saltwater fish are very commonly kept in aquariums for entertainment. Many
saltwater fish are also caught to be eaten, or grown in aquaculture.
Saltwater fish diet

Fishes that live in the ocean can be carnivores, herbivores,


or omnivores.Herbivores in the ocean eat things such as algae and
flowering seagrasses. Fish that are carnivores will eat other fish, shrimp, krill,
crabs, or even squids and octopus.
Freshwater  fish food include earthworms, sludge worms, water fleas, bloodworms,
and feeder fish. Food for larvae and young fish include infusoria (Protozoa and other
microorganisms), newly hatched brine shrimp and microworms. These are the most
preferred type of food for fishes, but are difficult to get.
