 About "White Cloud Mountain minnow"

📍Kingdom:- Animalia

📍Phylum:- Chordata

📍Class:- Actinopterygii

📍Order:- Cypriniformes

📍Family:- Cyprinidae

📍Genus:- Tanichthys

📍Species:- T. albonubes

📍Binomial name:-

Tanichthys albonubes

👉The White Cloud Mountain minnow (Tanichthys albonubes) is a hardy species of freshwater fish and coldwater fish often kept in aquaria.

👉 The species is a member of the carp family (family Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes,native to China.

👉The White Cloud Mountain minnow is practically extinct in its native habitat, due to pollution and tourism.

👉It was believed to be extinct for over 20 years in 1980,but an apparently native population of this fish was discovered on Hainan Island, well away from the White Cloud Mountain.

 👉They are bred in farms and are easily available through the aquarium trade.

 👉However, inbreeding in farms has led to genetically weak stock that is vulnerable to disease and prone to physical deformities.

👉The fish are sold in the aquarium trade under a variety of names, including White Cloud, White Cloud Mountain fish, White Cloud minnow, etc.

👉White Clouds are easy to breed and are recommended for novice breeders.

👉They may be conditioned for breeding with live foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia.

👉The most colorful minnows should be placed in a small tank with a spawning mop or some java moss.

White Clouds are egg-scatterers, dropping their eggs freely amongst the vegetation.

👉Because they do not generally cannibalize their offspring, the parents can be left in the tank.

✈ORIGINS:- Asia, occurring in the White Cloud Mountain region around Canton, China.

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) 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): ...
