A fish is any aquatic vertebrate animal that is typically ectothermic (or cold-blooded), covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. Fish are abundant in the sea and in fresh water, with species being known from mountain streams (e.g., char and gudgeon) as well as in the deepest depths of the ocean (e.g., gulpers and anglerfish).

Food prepared from fish is also called fish, and it is an important food source for humans. They are harvested either from wild fisheries (see fishing) or farmed in much the same way as cattle or chickens (see aquaculture). They are also exploited by recreational fishers and fishkeepers, and are exhibited in public aquaria. Fish have had a role in many cultures through the ages, ranging from deities and religious symbols to the subjects of books and popular movies.

What kind of fish would go best in a 29 gallon tank?
Q. I just bought a 29 gl fish tank kit, and I want to get fish but I don't know what kind. Im looking for bright colored fish so that my tank will be colorful. Im also looking for fish that live for quite a while (I know, it probably depends on how well I take care of them). And I don't want anything that will get huge, maybe like 5 inches at the most. Ive had batas before but now I want a big tank. Thanks!

A. make a community tank!! they're great get some guppy,molly,sword fish,endlers,and platy small quantities of each because they breed fast. your aquarium will look colorful alive and very very cool. get fake or real bright colored or natural colored plants with maybe some decor like a wrecked ship or a Mermaid statue. and for the benefit of the fish get a water tester for ammonia,hardness,pH,nitra te and nitrite and research before you buy any fish so you and your pet can have a good experience! hope this helps!

A. females and males will fight except for a short period of time during breeding. plecos get way too big. any non aggressive fish is good. also, stay away from fin nippers like some tetras and barbs. some good picks are: most tetras danios some barbs cory cats mollies moon/platies sometimes guppies (although super aggressive bettas sometimes attack them)
