My shoaling fish tank

EddieW · Mar 23, 2004

My tank at home for small shoaling fish. A little bit too much algae at the moment due to a duckweed problem blocking out the light. Its getting better though.

Cheers, Eddie

whats shoaling mean ? :blink:

schooling?

am i just stupid? or is it cause its 2:40 am :sad:

EddieW · Mar 23, 2004

They are basically the same but shoal applies to fish only, whereas school can apply to mammals such as dolphins as well....

shoal (FISH)

ah it all depends.. it could be more than two pods which make a school

EddieW · Mar 23, 2004

It gets worse.....

I think I have found an answer:

Shoal - fish only
School - fish or marine animals
Pod - marine mammals only

But I am sure this is not the end of the story.......
