Got any fun fish facts?

The clownfish is born male and when the female dies in a group the dominant male will change to female
and that ruined Finding Nemo for many people =P

Clownfish are All Born Male, a Dominant Male Will Turn Female When the Current...

I thought of one more. if your pet fish becomes constipated. you can feed him peas. then he will poop and recover. (important)

Bull sharks are born live (no eggs) but only a few make it out of the womb. They start cannibalizing their weaker siblings while before birth.

The Great Lakes sturgeon lives up to 150 years old and in the olden days, they would use their eyeballs as a makeshift baseball

You can train Bettas to do tricks. They can even go through hoops. I've trained them to come touch my fingers to get fed, it's how I got them used to me.

Oh, oh! And they also have labyrinth lungs so they can breath by gulping air at the surface! They usually live in black water streams or rice paddies that have been dyed dark from the tannins found in almond tree leaves

Not sure if this counts, but apparently fish can get drunk.

Here's What Happens When Fish Get Drunk

The Moray Eel has a second set of jaws inside the back of it's throat that can be used to pull food down it's throat.
Also sharks have a 6th sense. Pores in their snout can detect electricity, like that which living creatures give off when their muscles receive signals to move.

Horseshoe crabs are not crabs, but are more closly related to spiders. They have 9 eyes (5 on top, 3 under, and their tail is a sensory organ that is sometimes considered an eye) and 10 legs. They also swim upside down, and breed under the new and full moons. (it's very oddly specific)

[CosmicLeon]

the mantis shrimp is what i think your referencing. It makes mini explosions in the water with it's speed, that boils the water. that thing can break of crab arms they are monsters of the sea XD (although small)

There is a lot of interesting information about these tiny creatures. Have you ever heard about the fact that even if jellyfish and crayfish have the word ‘fish’ in their name, they aren’t actually fish. I’m 24th years old and this information turned my life ups side down. I was even arguing with other people a while ago that crayfish are considered simple fishes as other creatures that live in the ocean or sea. I made such a fool of myself. In addition, did you know that fish can get sunburn? I suppose it’s something new for you. If you will expose the fishes described on petsoid.com to the sun, then be ready that their skin will peel off soon. According to many researches it’s a normal process.

I used to have a betta fish. They are easy to take care of. Min tank requirement is a 2.5 gallon tank with filter and heater. Do not put them with another betta, they will fight each other. Betta fish like to follow you around when u go by their tank. ( at least mine did )

If you keep a goldfish in the dark, it will turn white. Goldfish live longer than any other domestic fish. They have longer attention spans than humans. Goldfish don't have tongues, but have teeth at the back of their throats. Goldfish are awesome, aren't they

[nostalgicroxas]

of note, goldfish that you buy that are a mix of white and gold dots, the gold isn't natural and your fish will likely turn back to their natural white over time. It's not anything bad like a disease or anything, and they may not lose their gold.

The only thing I know is that deeper the water, the scarier they get. Don't look up "deep sea fish" if you don't want nightmares, though I personally think they're cool, probably because most of these scary fish are bosses in Darius.

Sharks (and most fish actually) have an organ/body part called the lateral line, and you can see it dotted down here. It's used to detect tiny vibrations in the water to help it hunt and navigate in low visibility:

Not to be mistaken with their coloring, which is called countershading (light belly, dark back). It's camouflage so the creatures swimming below them can't spot them easily when they look up toward the surface. Also, most sharks breathe by opening their mouths and swimming as fast as they can to force the water through their gills. They physically can't stay still or else they drown. Unless you're a wobbegong (carpet shark). You can chill.

This video is my favorite thing regarding fish.

Sharks skin has the texture of sandpaper.

I found this out when I was at a beach and a small dead shark was washed up on the shore. I touched it so I can claim "I touched a shark" and was surprised that the skin felt rough as opposed to smooth.

[Shredder]

sharks also don't have any bones.

Since the thread got bumped, here's a video that's a goldmine of fun fish facts:

Male cuttlefish sometimes pretend to be female to get closer to another male cuttlefish's mate.
