I just had to use that as the title because when my family goes fishing, and we haven't had a bite in a while we say that. Normally it gives us good luck! :)
Fish have been on this earth for over 450 million years. Fish obviously live in the waters and use gills to breathe. Fish were even around before dinosaurs. There are still so many different spices of fish that have no been discovered. In fact, all of the species of fish are more than, reptiles, birds, mammals, and amphibians combined.
Only 40% of fish breath fresh water. Some fish have cartilage for their bones. The largest fish in the world is the Great Whale Shark. The smallest fish is called the Philippine Goby. Some fishes can even glide on top of the water.
Fish can feel stress and pain just like humans. Tropical fish are very popular in the United States. Fish have a very good sense of hearing, sight, taste, and touch. Fish have a special organ witch is sort of like a radar, it helps them swim in dark and non clear water.
Tropical fish usually come from Asia, Africa, and South and Central America. Some flatfish are perfect for the ocean. They lay right under the sand, using the sand as camouflage. My favorite tropical fish is the Clown Fish, only because of the movie Finding Nemo. More than 1000 fish are threatened for extinction. Sad right? :( Poor Fishes. I find it quite funny hoe Jelly Fish are called Jelly FISH, but aren't actually a fish.
My dad has a clown fish at his house! I am absolutely terrified of fish, I about cry if I have to get in a lake. However, I do think tropical fish are really pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how long fish have been around, and how much there are in the world.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that fish feel pain and stress like humans do. My friend had a large fish tank with lots of different fish in it. I thought it was awesome. I think tropical fish are really cool!
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool to see all the different facts about fish! I love learning about fish in the ocean that humans don't commonly see.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that fish could feel stress or pain and have a radar that allow for them to swim in the dark. I also think tropical fish are the best. The more colorful the better!
