One in ten pet owners keep fish.

Shrimps' hearts are in their heads.

The most common name for a goldfish is Jaws.

Climbing Perch can 'walk' on dry land and even climb trees.

Prize winning Koi have sold for tens of thousands of dollars - for a single fish.

Discus feed their babies on mucus they excrete from their bodies.

Female Guppies can have up to five litters of babies from mating only one time.

Tennessee's 130,000 square foot public freshwater aquarium is the largest in the world.

The finest Caviar comes from a freshwater fish - the Beluga Sturgeon.

Babies of the carnivorous Arowana live in their father's mouth until they are big enough to be on their own.

The bright stripe on Cardinal Tetras makes it hard for predators to single out one fish in the school.

Well cared for Goldfish can live for 70 years.

Never occured to my mind this would be common.

Well cared for Goldfish can live for 70 years.
Very intriguing. I wonder how they got this record.

Hoping it did not drop dead like others do.:silly:

Did you know supergluing guppies is against their code and the penalty is 100 years of bad luck?

it really isnt the discus' mucosa that feeds the fry, but their skin actually swells and the fry feed off of that.
