Question

Are Krill fish or plants? If fish, do they have scales AND fins? It is important to me to know whether they are plants or fish, and if fish whether they have BOTH scales and fins. Thank you.

Answer 1

neither they're inverebrates. it's the equivalent of bugs on land

Answer 2

Krill are niether fish nor plants. They are crustacians. They don't have fins or scales. They kinda look like little shrimp.

Answer 3

They are neither fish nor plants. They are crustaceans, much like tiny shrimp, and therefore would have much the same body composition as a shrimp.

Answer 4

contrary to what everyone says not all puffers are brackish for example the dwarf puffer the fahaka the mbu south americans ect. as in the first answer thepufferforum is a great place to learn about puffers and if you ask pufferpunk she will probably have to best answer for you. a 72 gallon is gonna be tricky for puffers cuz either the puffer will be to mean and you cant have anything in with it and the extra tank space would just be overkill, or the puffer will be to big or to small. i would suggest trying a school of South american puffers since there probably one of the nicest puffers and school in the wild. you could also throw some other fish in with them if you wanted including some dwarfs but you would probably never see the dwarfs in there.

Answer 5

Krill are crustaceans.. like shrimp or crabs or lobsters. No fins or scales.

Answer 6

Neither, they are crustaceans related to shrimps. Thus they have nor scales neither fins.

Answer 7

The bible says "leviticus" only eat fish with scales and fins...thats it. every thing else is unclean. I would think this applies to algae also.

Answer 8

crustaceans ... very popular with large filter feeding fish and cetaceans (whale sharks, blue whales)

Answer 9

same as everyone else that answered
