Despite being able to crawl on land, many of these prehistoric tetrapodomorph fish still spent most of their time in the water.

They still needed to return to water to lay their shell-less eggs, and even modern amphibia have a fully aquatic larval stage with gills like their ancestral fish.

It also appears that divergence of the three groups took place in the Paleozoic or early Mesozoic before the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea and soon after their divergence from the lobe-finned fish.

In addition, colonists ’ close proximity to the ocean gave them a bounty of fresh fish to add to their diet, especially in the northern colonies.

These fish can still, however, find their way around by means of their lateral lines, which are highly sensitive to fluctuating water pressure.

As stated earlier, they can get to their food rather swiftly, even more so than fish with the ability to see, so they aren't really good for a community, but one is OK for a semi-aggressive community.

This chart shows that not all fish, shellfish, or the insects that they eat can tolerate the same amount of acid ; for example, frogs can tolerate water that is more acidic ( i. e., has a lower pH ) than trout.

Both the lower pH and higher aluminium concentrations in surface water that occur as a result of acid rain can cause damage to fish and other aquatic animals.

However, the effects of acid rain can last for generations, as the effects of pH level change can stimulate the continued leaching of undesirable chemicals into otherwise pristine water sources, killing off vulnerable insect and fish species and blocking efforts to restore native life.
