Yes, pet fish are low-maintenance pets. Compared to dogs and cats, a freshwater fish is a walk in the park (not literally, they don't like that). However, fish are still animals that require care and attention. Quick weekends away and lengthy vacations alike call for reinforcements when it comes to leaving a fish home alone. Food is the biggest factor when determining how long you can leave a fish home alone. Depending on the type of fish, how many fish you own and the size of the tank, you can leave your pet fish alone for two to seven days. Disclaimer: We're talking about freshwater fish here! Tropical and saltwater fish have very different needs. How long can fish go without eating? Fish Tank World says most fish can easily go two to four days without food before it becomes a problem. It's also noted that this isn't ideal,...

The beaches around Baynes Sound are yielding more proof of how deadly the recent record heat wave was in B.C. The exact numbers aren't known but tens of thousands of oysters and other shellfish are now dead or still dying after literally baking in their shells on the beach as temperatures soared into the mid and upper 30s. "It basically cooked the oysters, clams and mussels," said Joe Tarnowski, owner of Baynes Sound Oysters. "Most of the mussels around here are all gone. My clams were hit hard and you can see the sand dollars and stuff are all dead everywhere." Extremely low tides at the hottest time of the day for about five days in a row left the shellfish to sizzle in the hot sun and when the tide came in the water was too warm to provide relief. "I've probably lost between 30 and 40 per cent of my oysters and my clams are a little higher. They really didn't like the heat," said Tarnowski who has tenures along the shores of Denman...

Seafood is packed with nutrients including iron, vitamins B and D, and omega-3s (via WebMD). As such, it's little wonder that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends consuming at least 8 ounces of seafood a week. When it comes to restaurant offerings, however, there may be more to seafood dishes than meets the eye. Red Lobster's Ultimate Feast is a case in point. Befitting its name, the meal is huge, and its overwhelming range of culinary delights are no doubt sustaining many unhealthy dietary habits. While the main stars of the Ultimate Feast are lobster, crab, and shrimp, the meal is also served with melted butter, cocktail sauce, and two sides. All in all, the dish is composed of 1,190 calories, 72 grams of fat, 465 milligrams of cholesterol, and 3,850 milligrams of sodium. Right there, this dish maxes out our daily allowance of these unhealthy nutrients. Put another way, if you wanted to burn off the Ultimate Feast, you would have to walk for 331 minutes, jog f...

The weekend storm dumped quite a bit of snow at the Shore, while its winds whipped up the ocean's temper. Needless to say, no boats sailed. The blackfish will probably need a couple of days before they're ready to be targeted, again. Capt. Bobby Quinn on the Ocean Explorer said he probably won't even try to sail again until Wednesday in order to give the ocean time to settle.  The air temperatures should come up to the upper 40s mid-week too and stay there for a couple of days. All was not lost this weekend as plenty of freshwater anglers were on frozen Lake Hopatcong catching perch, pickerel and largemouth bass.  Laurie Murphy at Dow's Boat Rentals on Nolan's Point Road at the lake said the coves and the state park area have about eight to 10 inches of ice cover. The deeper portions in the middle of lake have finally frozen over but she cautioned that it's not safe yet because the last holes on the lake just hardened. The ice...

Trish Scala has two views of the water in her East Islip home — one of the Great South Bay and another of a 150-gallon tank with a dozen fish, ranging from arowana to catfish. "They're all looking right at me," Scala said as she stared right back. "I love watching them." It's a passion Scala and her husband share with other Long Islanders with large aquariums that adorn their homes, providing a beautiful, entertaining, even auspicious element. Kenneth Wang, who has a 220-gallon tank at his home in Roslyn Heights, believes in the feng shui principle that water and fish make for good chi. "A fish tank s...

For animals also native to earth, there is something particularly otherworldly about deep sea creatures. Probably because much like the cosmos, there is so much we don't know about the Ocean. After all, we've only explored about 20% of the ocean. That means there are a whole lot of unknowns when it comes to our deep sea friends (or foes). Thankfully organizations like the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) are bringing the deep sea to the surface. MBARI's latest video is not only a showcase of some of the coolest creatures swimming the deep sea, it's also a perfectly soothing visual experience. Just 10 minutes of creatures just thriving and vibing in the deep sea. [embedded content] The video compiles footage of nearly 40 deep sea dwellers captured by MBARI's remotely operated vehicles. A few of the creatures may look familiar. For instance, there's our stunning friend, the psychedelic jellyfish , appearing just 16 seconds in. In addition to the s...

The Louisiana Departments of Health, Environmental Quality, and Wildlife and Fisheries today issued a series of updates to five existing fish consumption advisories due to unacceptable levels of mercury detected in the fish. People are exposed to low levels of mercury throughout their lives. Eating contaminated fish is one way we are exposed to mercury. Health effects from harmful levels of mercury can include nervous system and kidney damage. Young children and developing fetuses are more sensitive to the toxic effects of mercury. Therefore, consumption advisories are issued at lower fish tissue concentrations for women of childbearing age and children under 7 years of age. The Department of Environmental Quality conducts fish sampling and LDH then uses this data to determine the need for additional advisories or to modify existing advisories. Each advisory lists the specific fish, makes consumption recommendations and outlines the geographic boundaries of the affected w...

Recently, Xiao Qi Ji has been eating a lot more bamboo, especially the culm (stalk). While Mei Xiang sits and eats her breakfast, he often plops down beside her and shares her piece of bamboo. Giant panda cubs will nurse for as long as mom allows; lately, Xiao Qi Ji has been nursing about once a day. At his most recent weigh-in, Xiao Qi Ji tipped the scales at 98.5 pounds (44.8 kilograms)—about 10 pounds more than last month. Adult male giant pandas in human care typically top out around 300 pounds, so he's still got some growing to do. That said, he's now at an age and size where keepers have stopped going into the enclosure with him. Since we have spent the last year training Xiao Qi Ji to shift in and out of the enclosures on cue, the way we care for him has not changed all that much. He is a great listener and comes right when we call him most days. Video There's something magical about watching giant pandas play in the snow. On Jan. 3, Washington D.C. experienc...

W ith their serene hues and graceful tails, it's easy to forget that these betta fish have another name: Siamese fighting fish. Originating in Thailand, formerly Siam, they were popular among children, who would collect them from rice paddies and pitch them in battle. After people started gambling on the fights, the king levied a tax on the fish. They are now bred to accentuate tail shapes and colours. Wild bettas, meanwhile, are listed as "vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature owing to pollution and habitat destruction. For this project the photographer Charlie Surbey sourced fish from his local aquarium and had a tank built with partitions to keep them apart. "Without that they would fight to the death," he says.

CHIPPEWA COUNTY, MI – A fisherman got lost in blowing snow on Lake Superior and then his snowmobile got stuck in heavy slush before rescuers found him overnight, officials said. The man was found miles from shore around 2 a.m. Monday by a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. The search began when the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office was notified of an ice fisherman last seen in the early afternoon heading toward shore on his snowmobile. Blowing snow at the time made visibility very dangerous, police said. The sheriff's office deployed its hovercraft, snowmobiles and drone to search the area with the help of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Whitefish EMS. The Coast Guard joined the search with a helicopter and airboat. Eventually, it was crewmembers aboard the helicopter that spotted the missing fisherman and his snowmobile. The sheriff's office and DNR sent snowmobiles to the location while the Coast Guard sent its airboat. Once back on shore, the fisherman was chec...
