European Minnow is a species of freshwater fish and member of carp family that can be found throughout most of Eurasia, Great Britain, and from Spain to eastern Siberia. They are predominant in cool streams and well-oxygenated lakes and ponds. They are known for moving in large schools (groups of hundreds and thousands of fishes). Although they are sometimes called as Eurasian Minnows but the name is misleading because they occur only in fewer parts of Asia.

European minnow is a small, slender and dark-colored fish with blunt snout and small scales. Their belly is cream to pearl colored and changes to red in males during spawning season. Their size ranges from 8 to 10 cm long. They are common in fast flowing freshwaters and well-drained vegetated ponds. They are rarely used as aquarium fish despite the breeding in captivity being feasible. In aquariums, they should be kept in cold and fresh waters with a good supply of oxygen and a reasonable water current. In Scotland and Germany, European minnows are rarely found, where they have been declared as legally protected species.

Pictures of Fish Barracuda Fishes Pictures and Barracuda Fishes Kind

Barracuda is a ray-finned fish that is known for its large size (up to six feet in length and a foot in width in some of the species) and fearsome appearance. Barracudas can be found in tropical and sub tropical oceans throughout the world. It can be found only in salt waters. They are found both singly or in swarms around reefs and also in open sea. Barracuda is a voracious predator that hunts using a strategy of wait and ambush. They rely on short bursts of speed to overrun their prey. It can reach a speed of up to 27 mph or 43 kmph.

Barracuda has a long and fairly compressed body that is covered with small and smooth scales. Large barracudas are generally solitary in their habitats and do not stick around to care for their younger ones. They feed on fish of all types. Many a times, large barracudas eat young barracudas. Like sharks, barracudas have a bad reputation of being dangerous to human beings. They often mistake snorkelers as predators and follow them to scavenge the remains of prey after an attack. Barracudas are formidable hunters and thus should be respected. They can perfectly defend themselves against human attacks. Hand feeding or trying to touch them should be strictly avoided.

Pictures of Fish Antarctic Icefish Fishes Pictures and Antarctica Icefish Fishes Kind

Antarctic Icefish is a largely endemic, dominant fish in the cold continental waters surrounding Antarctica. Majority of the Antarctic Icefish live at seawater temperature -2 and 4 degree centigrades but some of the sub polar species inhabit waters that may be as warm as 10 degree centigrades around New Zealand and South America.

Antarctic Icefish have evolved a variety of interesting physiological and biochemical adaptations with which they can survive in cold and stable seawater temperatures of Southern Ocean, many being able to survive in the freezing and ice-laden waters. Most notable physiological aspect of Antarctic Icefish is they have only 1% hemoglobin unlike other animal species that have up to 45% hemoglobin in their blood. They can survive without large parts of hemoglobin due to high oxygen contents of cold waters of southern ocean and also due to the fact that oxygen is absorbed and distributed directly by the plasma. Antarctic Icefish is considered to the only marine fish species flock.

Electric eel despite the name eel, is not a true eel, rather it is a knifefish or very near to catfish. Electric eels, as the name suggests, can generate a powerful electrical shock that it uses both for hunting and self defense. Electric eels are obligate air breathers, which rise to the surface every 10 minutes or so to gulp the air after which they go back to the bottom.

Electric eels have an elongate and cylindrical body. They can grow up to 2 meters in length and 20 kg in weight. They are the largest species of their biological family. Color on the back is gray-brown and yellow or orange on the belly. Mouth is square and is positioned right at the snout. They have no scales. Electric eels have three organs that generate electricity main organ, hunter’s organ and Sachs organ. These three organs comprise 80% of the body. These organs are made of electrocytes, which are lined up in such a way that current flows through them and produces an electric charge. Electric eels generate an electric pulse in a very similar way to that of a battery. The shock produced by an electric eel could be fatal for an adult human.

Antarctic Cod Fish Pictures and Antarctic Cod Fishes Kind

Antarctic cod fish is famous for producing antifreeze glycoprotein that allows it to survive in the ice laden waters of southern sea surrounding Antarctic sea. They are also known as antarctic toothfish. Antarctic cods have a heartbeat rate of once every six seconds. Scientists are doing research on antarctic cods for cardiac medicines especially in human conditions involving low heartbeats or patients with the conditions of hypothermia.

They are very large fishes and can be caught in the waters below 2000 meters depth. Fully grown antarctic cod fishes are grayish in color, weigh around 135 kg and have a length of more than 2 meters. The flesh of antarctic cod is white and is rich of high oil content. Although the name is antarctic cod but they do not belong to cod family. The taste is very similar to cod and that is why the name antarctic cod. They generally feed on various types of fish. However, they are also known to eat almost anything including the remains of penguins caught by seals and orca on the surfaces.

They have two lungs that enable them to breathe air through another lung when the water has dried-up. They are considered as fearless and aggressive fishes that attack any moving objects including human hands. In many states, export of lungfishes is legally banned. They can survive in any types of atmosphere including low oxygen areas.
