  2. Filter feeder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_feeder

    Unlike the other large filter feeders, it relies only on the water that is pushed through the gills by swimming; the megamouth shark and whale shark can suck or pump water through their gills. [6] Manta rays can time their arrival at the spawning of large shoals of fish and feed on the free-floating eggs and sperm. This stratagem is also ...

  3. Aquarium filter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquarium_filter

    The pump should only be powerful enough to push the water through the filtering material as well as overcome the drag in the intake and return pipes. This makes canister filter pumps virtually insensitive to the height difference between the aquarium and the filter (although exceeding the manufacturer-specified height limit can lead to leaks).

    The winged insects are nocturnal and provide food for night-flying birds, bats, small mammals, amphibians and arthropods. The larval stage lasts much longer, often for one or more years, and has a bigger impact on the environment. [20] They form an important part of the diet of fish such as the trout. The fish acquire them by two means, either ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysmata_amboinensis

    L. amboinesis exhibiting cleaning behaviour in the Sea Life Centre of Oberhausen, Germany. Many species of Lysmata, including L. amboinesis, are commonly kept in salt water aquaria; they are safe and beneficial since they will clean both the tank and fish but not harm corals. For these reasons they are often kept in both home and public aquaria ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrachnidia

    They prey on other water mites, small crustaceans (e.g. cladocerans, ostracods and copepods), the eggs, larvae and pupae of aquatic insects, and non-arthropod invertebrates such as rotifers, nematodes, and oligochaetes. The egg-eating water mites often prey on the eggs of the same insects they parasitise as larvae.
