My panda garra has the job of watching over my tank, he literally perched on the sponge filter the whole day and he’ll come to the glass when he sees me.
Hahahaha thats so cute mine is my betta he is a young betta (1 year they give to me when he was like 3 months by my friends) he is like scary sometimes he is just there staring in one of my big anubiad leaves like he just watch but if he see food hes fast
i have interesting example on the topic (kind of) the venom of the bubble tip anemone ( a marine invert that i have) is sometimes used to cure some kinds of cancer! great video again!
I have heard about this also👍 and there are some other species that play a part in medicine too!! Or another example are fish that they collect our omega-3s from like used in lowering cholesterol and heart health🤔❤️ Great topic and some great discussions!!🙏👍
Here in Phoenix, there are Amur Catfish there to eat plants and algae in the canals that bring water to our desert city. When they drain the canal, they carefully relocate these non-native fish, so they grow to great size over the years. I think they should be on the city seal.
I thought you were going to relate this to jobs in the aquarium, just like my Bristlenose places have the job of keeping the tanks clean of algae for the most part :)
A fish I'd recommend checking out (if you haven't already) Is the Pygmy Sunfish. They are very tiny, but very adorable. With a black/blue coloration when fully colored up. I specifically enjoy the Gulf Coast Pygmy Sunfish, and keep them in an aquarium myself.
That's a sad situation to think that Dr. Fish are starved so they have to eat feet 🤮😢 Fish that have real human based jobs are either for a consumption or maybe even an hydroponics/aquaponics system!! Tilapia as you showed us. With some fish they're only job is to survive pet stores or similar situations and hopefully become a beautiful addition to a family so they can be loved and cared for ❤️ Sadly that's not always the case 🙏 Now I know GloFish were specifically genetically engineered to be able to check water systems/parameters/pollution (I'm sure that's not the correct term) I just know they are fish that have been made for a specific purpose and found their way into the hobby! Whether people like them or not they're here and they deserve to be taken care of too! The one thing that is 100% true is fish are part of our ecosystem and they all play A part in the regions and wildlife that they come from. It's us humans that have really have really messsed everything up 😢🙏 They are part of the delicate balance of life for our Earth!❤️ I know there's other fish that have properties that help in human medicine? Or at least I think there are? Something I had never thought about and I never knew was how the sturgeons were treated to collect the eggs 🤔😢 Thank you for another great video and something that makes you really think about the importance of fish in our lives!! Have a great day 👍👍🌿🐟🌿💚
Yes personally as a sturgeon lover I think there should be more regulation on caviar even captive produced caviar also people need to fix dams they're a huge killer of sturgeon and I think for the most part the sturgeon cannot go around or through them like salmon can which has doomed the pallid sturgeon
Another fish with a 'job' is the Medaka or Japanese Ricefish (Oryzias latipes). They change their behaviour based on water quality, so they're used in Japan to monitor tap water for harmful chemicals.
@@gameplaysfordayz5967 What species of snakehead would those be? The only one I can think of is the northern snakehead, but those typically aren't able to maintain a large population.
@@knightnight2691 no, they're literally unhealthy and dirty, not to as well lack the nutrition required by a lot of the animals you'd feed them too. And by too dirty I mean they're so dirty they'll literally make the environment around them dirty and dangerously for other animals
I have my gara gara fish and they love eating my skin! It’s so much fun! It actually takes a lot of time for them to nibble. Starving the fish is not right. My fish eat everything. And the skin is just a treat.
@@braydoncornwell9124 lambs aren’t killed in this way and their death is a lot less inhumane not to mention they are not endangered if you’re talking about how in some religions the lamb is not killed humanely they I cannot really argue.
Here in Arizona there is a fish called the white Amur that is native to China that was introduced to the SRP canals across the state to help clean the them “A 7-pound white amur can eat nearly three-quarters of its weight in weeds every day. Special Stocking Permits from the Arizona Game and Fish Department require the white amur to be certified as sterile before it can be imported. Grates are in place to keep the fish in the canal. To keep stock up, SRP replenishes the fish population by trucking in several thousand white amur per year” - from the SRP website
I live in Sri Lanka and there is an endemic garra species called garra ceylonensis. To my knowledge every garra Ceylonensis I have come across feed on dead skin on feet and hands, so I don’t think it’s forced
All bottom feeders have a job! They are the unsung heroes of aquatic life. Also, thank you for introducing me to aquaponics. I have a new thing to learn about!
we found a similar species to the gara rafa or however you spell it and if you put your feet in the river they will come up and do the same although they are more like minnows
I was unable to find any info about this, But I was told that sometimes sturgeon are used in American trout / salmon hatcheries to clean up the debris in the fish tanks to improve the water quality for the fish being raised. They eat all the uneaten feed at the bottom and keep the tank clean, so kind of like fish janitors, for other fish.
These sturgeon quickly die they're actually carnivorous they need a high protein diet consisting of small fish and fish eggs fish fry aquatic invertibites and crustations
1:57 I literally started crying when I found this out! I only did it once, but I feel so bad for those poor fish now! I told my boyfriend and he almost started crying too. Neither of us has ever owned a fish, but we are still very empathetic to all animals. (No, we're not. Vegans or anything like that)
People introduced peacock bass into my lake. In about 3-5 years the entire largemouth population has basically been eradicated. I admit the Mayan cichlids and spotted tilapia populations went down but it wasn’t even that bad in the first place. I haven’t seen a largemouth bass in my Lake in years sad to see
grass carp especially in texas they were introduced in i think about the 70's to remove our very thick grassy bottoms but now have become kind of a nucence but still do their job
More and more sturgeon farms are moving towards stripping aka squeezing the eggs out but this can produce sometimes a much as 1/3 less than killing the fish so it's still the most common method is either suffocating the sturgeon on ice or destroying the brain aka stabbing the fish in the head than harvesting the eggs
in portugal I was in a wild river where the fish also touching their mouth on my feet and it was also small is it possible that the gara rufa is in portugal
Saying a stonefish’s job is to provide anti venom for its victims is like saying you’re an undertaker for the people you kill or a firefighter for the fires you start 😂
This is for the saltwater people but: Tangs (Ctenochaetus and Zebrasoma) Rabbitfish (Foxfaces being good ones) Blennies (Lawnmower & Starry blennies) Wrasse (Halichoeres, Anampses, Pseudocheilinops) Butterflyfish (Copperbands)
There’s tons of fish that have jobs in their own environments! (Not related to humans). For example there’s the cleaner wrasse that helps clean sharks! There’s also a bunch of suckerfish that clean algae off of rocks and fish tanks and other fish. I’d also suggest that glofish (originally) had a job of showing toxins in water with their fluorescence.
Just a strange thing i found, ive spend time in a fish spa in an hotel The strange thing is that there are high amounts of algae in the pool and the pool is like 20ftx20ft and these 50-100 garra rufa and yet they still ate my dead skin which is kinda weird that most of the rufa prefered the skin over the algae Even my silver foxes that graze on algae(which my tank was filled with that they eat) in also grazed my skin when i do a water change which is also odd so there are exceptions
They use those a lot in my state as well as a number of different predatory, sterile hybrids like tiger musky (musky/pike hybrid) to keep carp and sucker populations under control.
Plecos are also called Janitor Fish, Betta are Fighting Fishs, Climbing Perch in so eculture in SEAsia are considered mystical fishes that protects the owner from evil spirits.
Groupers being trained in the Gulf of Mexico to eat the invasive Lionfish seems like they would fit. I think the efforts are going so-so, as of the last I saw on TH-cam
@@TrevreWxAZ at least they are not being wasted right, we are making the most out of them, also the people who do this to the sturgeons don't make fun of the fish or play with them, they are doing their job and have done so much to get to there. they are respectful to the fish !!
Polynesian cultures would drum the bottom of their fishing boats, and barracuda would show up and drive smaller fish towards the net. The barracuda's would get an easy meal, and the fisherman got a bountiful catch.

i use guppies for that

One of my fish kinda has a job in my aquarium, when some fish get into a fight, he breaks it up. He is getting old though.

another bonus for the tilapia fish
is that its skin is very effective when using it to heal burn wounds

If u want a similar story look up Frank the flowerhorn
It"s kind a sad people kill sturgeon just because they want their egg.
I mean ethical caviar (collecting eggs by probing the cloaca of the sturgeon) is now a thing
Poor Sturgeon spends 10 years only to be killed for your eggs that don’t even carry on the next generation, people are cruel.
i know its horrible but there are more and more ethical caviar farms popping up, there's one near me
man that part is messed up I'm glad they are doing alternative
