, Meaning boney-tongue, two hairs or whiskers. Its whiskers jut out from the lower jaw. The arowana is a predator. Be careful with this fish as well as the leaffish. Know your fish.The marine world has many fishes with head extensions, including dramatic examples such as those seen in swordfishes and sawfishes to a group of more aquarium appropriate fishes called anglers. In anglerfishes, the first ray of the dorsal (back) fin has migrated forward. It has become a lure mounted on the nose. The organ has a stem, the illicium and the esca, which are dangled over the mouth and moved to attract prey.
The nostrils are located in the head of fishes. Unlike ours, they do not connect with the throat. The gill covers, known as the operculum, are protection for one of the fish’s most vital and delicate organs. The inner ear is also an organ of balance.
Fish recognize the direction “up” in two ways. One is with the bone hanging in a canal of the inner ear. If the fish tips, the bone touches fine hairs and sends a message to the fish’s brain saying “straighten up.” The other signal is simply that light has always come from above. I’ve seen angelfishes tip over in the strong rays of afternoon sun. Do not use side or bottom lighting in your aquarium because you’ll have neurotic fishes.

The study looks at how tank size and the complexity of the environment can either reduce or increase aggression in fish. Read on for tips on how to help keep your underwater friends friendly. — Global Animal

Home fish tanks and aquariums may at first appear to be tranquil environments, but look closely and you might see a glaring goldfish or a ticked off tetra.
A new study has found that ornamental fish across the U.S. — all 182.9 million of them — are at risk of becoming aggressive due to cramped, barren housing.
In other words, fish can turn mean when their home sucks, according to a new study in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science.
