Fishes have gills, eyes, mouth, tail, scales and fins, but most importantly they make great apartment pets. Having a betta fish is better than having a goldfish when it comes down to the cost of food, maintenance, and lifespan.
All pets need food, to help them grow and be healthy. There are different types of brands to choose from, some with different flavor and different color. However, when it comes down to Goldfish food, there is only one type of flavor and can be sold in the form of flakes or pellets. The cost of buying these foods ranges from $1.97 to $5.24. For Betta fish they have an option of eating three types of food, they include freeze dried bloodworms, freeze dried brine shrimp and pellets. The cost of these foods ranges from $1.69 to $3.74. When it comes down to feeding time the goldfish is recommended to eat two to three times a day, each feeding session lasting one to two minutes long. For an adult betta fish it is recommended to eat one time a day, having the session go for about two minutes. However, if the betta is a young one it is recommended to eat two times a day, each session lasting two minutes as well. Goldfish having more times per day to eat is costly because the food will run out quickly

and you would have to make more visits to the pet shop to get food. Although, buying a goldfish is way cheaper than buying a betta fish. But when it comes down to feeding the beta is cheaper. The reason that it's cheaper is because the food of the betta will last more, insuring that you would not have to visit the pet shop that much for food. Doing regular maintenance in the tank is ones responsibility for having a fish. In doing so, it will provide a healthy and clean environment for it. Both betta and goldfish are easy to maintain and care for because neither of them require any past aquatics experience. Since a goldfish requires to eat a lot and is a messy eater, you would see that the tank gets dirty quickly. Furthermore, if there is decorations in the tank like rocks, mini sculptures, fake plants etc. will make the cleaning hard. For instance, after taking the fish from the tank you would pour the dirty water into the sink. Then you would have to carefully clean the decoration and the tank with water to get the foul smell and griminess off. It can be a hassle because cleaning the decor takes more patience than just cleaning the tank. On the contrary, cleaning a tank of a betta is easier and doesn't get as dirty as the goldfish. The reason for this is due to the required amount of food they intake. Not eating a lot of food will preserve the tank from getting dirty quickly. In doing so, the cleaning of the decor and the tank will take less time and less patience to do. Furthermore, both of these fish are freshwater fish, meaning that the water that they use can be found in your faucet. Lastly, lifespan of a fish is most important because it can tell you how long will you enjoy the fish.
Normally most people have said that goldfish dies quickly and doesn't live long. However, If you maintain the tank clean and remember to feed it, the fish can live for years. Sometimes there are some uncertainties of how long the goldfish will really live. For the betta fish it is said to have a lifespan of living a little more than two years. Knowing this raises the hopes of having a longer time to enjoy the betta than having a goldfish. On a side note, raising a betta fish is better than raising a goldfish because you get to see a betta natural instincts when there is a mirror inside the tank. Meanwhile, the goldfish just swims around in the
tank. The next time you're at a pet shop and you want to buy a fish consider buying a betta fish due to the cost of food is cheaper, maintenance is easy and has a long expected lifespan.
The main idea of this story Fish Cheeks was understanding and appreciation and having pride in one own unique culture. Tan mother invites the minsters family who happens to be her crush at the time who is Robert the minister’s son. Tan felt despaired during the entire evening, feeling ashamed of her family and non- American ways at dinner. At the end of the evening Tan’s mother tells her that she understands that she wants to like all the other American girls and handed a gift. Tan’s mother points out to her that she must not be ashamed of her difference, however, embrace these differences that she has found shame in. Overall the main idea was the differences that we are often ashamed of are the differences we should take pride in, because
Personally, I love seafood. I have had the privilege to eat the freshest of fish from both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. I have been able to enjoy many types of fish cooked in many different ways. With that said, I was interested in Paul Greenberg’s, Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food, due to my simple curiosity to what it is that has made fish so popular.
Just as in any other sport, understanding gives rise to advantage and success. As serious fishermen, we had dedicated much thought to understanding the fish, hypothesizing their behavior. One understanding we had already gained through previous experiences was that fish readily eat the prey that is normally available. This, we concluded, was a sort of defense against fishermen and their foreign lures and was acquired through the fishes’ own previous experience of eating a lure. In applying this understanding to our fishing, we performed a routine food chain analysis to find out what our lures needed to imitate. The results were that the part of the food chain just beneath our quarry consisted mostly of small fish such as anchovies and young yellowtail, smaller than those shad and bluegill normally eaten in freshwater ponds. To compensate for this difference we would have to use lures smaller than those we were used to using. Luckily we had some.
Since water is the medium that the aquarium inhabitants must live in, it is the most vital component in any tank. The quality of the water used will directly effect how successful the aquarium is. The chemical balance of the water must be watched closely. If the salt content varies too much, or harmful chemicals build up, the water will kill the inhabitants of the tank.
What does it mean to possess confidence? Confidence is one word that has a vast impact on today’s society. Without confidence one’s whole life could and will be turned completely upside down. The meaning of confidence is having, without a doubt, total belief in oneself. Self-confidence is something that cannot be taught, but instead learned through personal experience. The autobiographical narrative, “Fish Cheeks,” by Amy Tan, is about a fourteen-year-old girl who describes her thoughts and feelings about the minister’s son and reveals to the reader that she is not accepting of herself. Throughout my life I have learned not to let others dictate my opinion of myself, because who I am or where I originated from is qualified and in reality, no one is capable of standing in my shoes. “Fish Cheeks,” written by Amy Tan, is a
Betta live in thickly overgrown ponds and are found in only slowly flowing waters such as stagnant pools, polluted streams, and other types of areas with the water having low-oxygen content. Bettas mainly feed on insects that fall into the water and on zooplankton, crustaceans, and the larvae of mosquitoes. Bettas have a rapid metabolic rate making them in need to eat frequent small snacks, such as algae. Bettas are a smaller fish and are lower on the food chain. Just above insect larvae and below larger predatory fish and birds. The betta can be found worldwide in pet stores since it is a domesticated fish, but it can be found naturally swimming among the native waters of Thailand. The question we are asking is, What kind of objects can cause the betta to become aggressive and flare up? Are hypothesis being If we expose a male betta fish to another male betta fish, female betta fish, mirror, and other objects resembling a male betta fish his instinctive behavior will cause him to flare up. The independent variable of our experiment is the time between showing the male betta the testable objects. The dependent variable of our experiment is the reaction and action of the betta fish once it is shown one of the
A poem without any complications can force an author to say more with much less. Although that may sound quite cliché, it rings true when one examines “The Fish” by Elizabeth Bishop. Elizabeth’s Bishop’s poem is on an exceedingly straightforward topic about the act of catching a fish. However, her ability to utilize thematic elements such as figurative language, imagery and tone allows for “The Fish” to be about something greater. These three elements weave themselves together to create a work of art that goes beyond its simple subject.
researchers are suggesting a more “judicious” approach in utilizing “limited biological raw materials” such as fish products (De Silva & Turchini, 2008). The challenges unique to the pet food industry is that, “pet food professionals need not only consider the total amount of protein to target, but also the quality, bioavailability, and ingredient source as well” when designing their formulas (Swanson, Carter, Yount, Aretz, & Buff, 2013). Research also indicates a need to further study the impact of the pet food industry on the fish market so that any prevalent issues are brought to the light, discussed and resolved instead of ignored (De Silva & Turchini,

• Just like human beings, fish need food, oxygen, and shelter. These three basic needs dictate the location of fish in the ice and just realizing this will make winter fishing a lot easier.
The fish withholds a great part in this book. The Old Man and the Sea is a book that’s about a small town where the residents revolve their lives around fishing. The fish is a symbol of beauty and it is a greatly admired creature to these people. An example from the book is on page 49. Santiago has been fishing for 84 days and decides not to return home without a fish on the 85th day. On the 85th day, alone in the boat, he manages to hook an enormous marlin, the biggest fish he's ever seen in all his life. The fish is larger and stronger than Santiago. Santiago's experienced fishing skills and his will to catch and survive push him to pursue the fish for many days and many miles out to sea.
Fish and dogs can be both lazy and energetic depending on their moods. However, fish are restricted inside the four glass walls of their tanks. With fish not being able to leave their tank this does not put any responsibility on the owner for having to deal with a hyper fish. This also is convenient for a person who does not have a lot of time to spend with their animal. Unlike a fish owner, the dog owner would have to take the dog on a walk to release some energy and keep the dog in shape. This is a lot more responsibility on owners of dogs because the wound up energy can turn destructive if not addressed properly. When deciding on purchasing either animal, a main point to be considered is if the owners have enough time to spend with a dog, or if they have an extremely busy schedule and need a fish who is almost self
Freshwater fish and saltwater fish are very similar in a lot of ways, but also have differences between them so you can tell them apart. Marine water (saltwater) equals over 96 percent of the water on Earth and over 70 percent of Earth’s total surface. Freshwater is less than four percent of Earth’s total water and is about one percent of Earth’s surface (Freshwater Fish). Interestingly a few species of fish can live in either freshwater or saltwater, but for the majority, they must live in a specific environment. All species of fish used to live in a saltwater environment until certain geological events (earthquakes, volcanic activity, etc.) occurred, creating conditions that isolated groups of fish. The new habitats, included freshwater, and new food sources caused fish to either adapt, or to die (Lohrey).
Fish are one of Allah’s mighty creations on this world. Fish are just another common type of organism which exists on this Earth. Fish are everywhere; from the aquarium in an office to the Atlantic Ocean and from the book “Fish Tales” to the notorious movie “Finding Nemo.” The term fish usually refers to a cold blooded (exothermic) aquatic vertebrate which lives and swims inside the water.
