 About "twospot rasbora"

📍Kingdom:- Animalia

📍Phylum:- Chordata

📍Class:- Actinopterygii

📍Order:- Cypriniformes

📍Family:- Cyprinidae

📍Subfamily:- Danioninae

📍Genus:- Rasbora

📍Species:- R. elegans

📍Binomial name:- Rasbora elegans

👉The twospot rasbora (Rasbora elegans) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Rasbora.

✈ORIGINS:- Southeast Asia, on the Malay Peninsula, and

southward to Sumatra and Borneo.

✈SIZE:- 8 in (20 cm).

✈DIET:- Flake and livefoods.

✈WATER Temperature:- 72–77°F (22–25°C); soft (50 mg/l)

and acidic (pH 6.0–6.5).

✈TEMPERAMENT:- Peaceful and social.

👉Elegant Rasboras display three black areas on each side of the body.

👉The body itself is greenish-brown above and silvery below.

👉Females can be recognized when spawning approaches, because they become paler than the males and their bodies swell with eggs.

👉They spawn in typical rasbora fashion, with the young requiring special fry food or infusoria once they are free-swimming.

👉Elegant Rasboras will rarely reach their maximum size in home aquariums.

Classification of caudal fin

Image
  Classification of caudal fin  The caudal fin, or tail fin, in fish can be classified into different types based on its shape and structure. The caudal fin, or tail fin, is a critical anatomical feature in fish, serving various functions essential for survival. Here are the primary functions of the caudal fin: Propulsion : The caudal fin is the main propulsive force for most fish, allowing them to swim forward. By moving the fin side to side, fish generate thrust that propels them through the water. Different types of caudal fins provide varying degrees of speed and power. Maneuverability : The shape and flexibility of the caudal fin allow fish to make precise movements, including quick turns and sudden stops. This maneuverability is crucial for avoiding predators, catching prey, and navigating complex environments like coral reefs or dense vegetation. Stability: The caudal fin helps maintain balance and stability in the water, preventing the fish from pitching (tilting forwa...

MEGA QUIZ- 2 (10 to 20)

MEGA QUIZ- 2 (10 to 20) Phase contrast microscopes can be very useful to observe the undistorted morphological features of  Dead cells   Live cells  Stained cells  None of the above Phase contrast microscopy is a technique that allows the visualization of transparent or unstained specimens, such as live cells, by exploiting the differences in refractive index within the specimen. It enhances the contrast and provides detailed morphological information of the cells without the need for staining or fixing them. The principle behind phase contrast microscopy is based on the fact that when light passes through a transparent object, it undergoes a phase shift. This phase shift is proportional to the difference in refractive index between the specimen and the surrounding medium. In a phase contrast microscope, this phase shift is converted into variations in brightness, enabling the visualization of transparent structures within the cells. When observing live cells un...

GANGA ACTION PLAN

Ganga Action Plan I (GAP I)     Ganga Action Plan I (GAP I) was the first major initiative taken by the Government of India to clean and restore the Ganga River, one of the most important and sacred rivers in the country. Launched in 1985, this plan was a response to the alarming levels of pollution affecting the Ganga due to untreated sewage, industrial effluents, and other waste discharges from various sources along its course. Key Aspects of Ganga Action Plan I: Objective: The primary objective of GAP I was to improve the water quality of the Ganga River to acceptable standards by preventing pollution from entering the river. Initially, the goal was to reduce pollution levels, but in a 1987 meeting led by Prof. M. G. K. Menon, the objective was revised to restoring the river's water quality to the "Bathing Class" standard. The Bathing Class standard includes the following criteria: Bio-Chemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): ...
