Compressed
squeezed together or narrow from side to side, flattened laterally.
Concave
curved inwards (hollowed) usually used in reference to the edge of dorsal fin or top of fish's head.
Compressed (fish)
When applied to the shape of a fish, this means a narrow, flat, deep body i.e. one with a small distance from one side to the other, but a large distance from the top to bottom.
Compressor ...
Tall and compressed the serpae is a sleek fish. The females are more rounded or robust.
Coloration: ...
Laterally compressed fish such as angelfish have an increased surface area which provides greater maneuverability.
Surgeonfish often use pectoral fins for stabilization, but rely on their long bodies and tails for fast speed swimming.
Coir comes in compressed "discs" which will expand 8 to 12 times in volume upon being wet.
Using the cocnut fiber disc is super easy, just soak it overnight and it's ready for use.

Altolamprologus compressiceps
SYN: Lamprologus compressiceps
PD: A high-backed fish with strong lateral compression. The mouth is very large and appears to be hinged.
Angelfish are laterally compressed or look like a disc on edge with long fins coming out of the top and bottom and have 2 'feelers' in front of the anal or bottom fin.
If the tank is large and heavily planted, the use of a compressed gas cylinder is probably the most effective, but it is also quite expensive and you need access to a refilling station for the cylinders.
It has a moderately elongated, laterally compressed body with an overall length of 7-13 cm for the male and 4-9 cm for the female.
The body is described as being elongate and compressed. The dorsal fin is described as having a hard ray and six soft rays, the anal fin is described as having 11-13 soft rays, and both fins are described as being short.
``How does the compressed gas method work?''
A compressed gas cylinder supplies CO2 at a high pressure of 800-1200 PSI. This is dropped to 5-20 PSI through a regulator, and reduced to a few bubbles per second by a fine-control ``needle valve''.
The kuhli loach is an eel-shaped fish, elongated with slightly compressed sides, and very small fins. The dorsal fin starts behind the middle of the body, and the anal fin well behind this. The eyes are covered with a transparent skin.
All Archers have a deep, laterally compressed, silver colored body that is punctuated by black bands and black on the edges of the dorsal and anal fins. The jaw is large and upturned, perfect for feeding at the surface.
(Its own waste is compressed but in thin 'stripes' so they travel to the filter easily too). While poo eaten is a weird concept, it is actually not unusual for animals.
Cichlids vary in body shape; some are compressed and disc-shaped, some triangular or oval, and some elongate and cylindrical.
Elopiformes: Pelvic fins abdominal; body slender, usually compressed; gill openings wide; caudal fin deeply forked; caudal fin with seven hypurals; scales cycloid; mesocoracoid and postcleithra present; gular plate well developed (median); ...
I got the local yellow pages, and I called around until I found a fish store that had compressed oxygen. A few hours before I headed to the airport, I went to the fish store. At the store, I looked around, trying to decide what to buy.
ornatus are laterally compressed as is its body. It feeds on small mbuna found in the intermediate zones as well as small invertebrates. Its laterally compressed lips are designed to seal off slits and grooves, not round holes.
The bodies of Sailfin Mollies are laterally compressed. The body shape is elongated, with males measuring about six inches, although females are longer. There are various varieties of Sailfin Molly available.
The Port cichlid, or Black Acara, has a large head with a deep and very laterally compressed body. Its color varies depending upon its age. Juveniles rage from a green, blue or brown with a blue, red, or yellow sheen.
The body is stretched out and laterally compressed with ventral fins that are long and thin, having the look of feelers. It is covered with iridescent pearl and brown flecks that give it a mother-of-pearl appearance.
In situations where I have had need or desire to use an air stone, I have found that the compressed glass bead air stones tend to be the best - with one exception - If you are using an air stone driven protein skimmer on your marine aquarium, ...
Florida Base Rock ( no longer available ) was composed of compressed calcareous sediments and coral skeletons. It was quite dense and resembled cement. It usually arrived with a large number of sponges and some small corals.
The air pump itself provides aerotion by compressed air, which is electrically driven (well I never).
As the name implies, this cichlid has a strikingly compressed shape. Despite its common name, it is unlikely to take the eyes of tankmates when fed regularly.

This is polyester batting that can be purchased from the LFS or from a quilting supply store. A little goes a long way. The important thing is to completely cover the bottom surface of the sponge. Experiment with the uncompressed thickness.
Color:
These vividly colored fish can add a stunning splash of color to an aquarium. Their oval shaped bodies are compressed and are white, black and bright yellow.
As the group of hyphae grows, it becomes compressed tufts that are collectively called mycelium. This mass of fungi filaments can be seen clearly without the aid of a microscope. The moulds reproduce by releasing thousands of spores into the water.
The body is laterally compressed with five rows of spots on the side that may appear as stripes (Page and Burr 1991). The caudal peduncle is deep in both sexes (Boschung and Mayden 2004).
Some cichlids are tall-bodied (angelfish and discus) and compressed while others are long and rounded (most African cichlids).
So, in order to make full use of the enhanced lighting, many hobbyists add a CO2 generating system to the tank. Classic systems employed a standard compressed gas tank with valves and regulators, ...
of fishes: for juvenile and adult fish, for freshwater and seawater fish, etc. These foodstuffs are characterized by a high level of proteins (generally 40-50%) and come in different forms: in flakes (the most common), granulated, or compressed.
Or, even worse, if it falls over and hits something, breaking the valve off, it could become a very, very dangerous gas-propelled missile. Just be safe and realize you are dealing with a highly compressed gas in a pressurized container.
If you place a fish in a small tank or bowl, the external body stops growing as it is stunted, however the internal organs keep growing and the fish will die as the organs become compressed.
