Re: Do fish fart?

a-c-t-u-a-l-l-y........... Corys fart. They have the ability to dash to the surface and take a gulp of air. The air is then moved down the intestines and absorbed. What isn't absorbed is released from the anus as a little bubble.
They even manage to fart without benefit of baked beans or mexican food LOL

Re: Do fish fart?

My boyfriend just absolutely cracked me up. He said 'siamese farting fish' when he heard about this thread.

Re: Do fish fart?

I'm sure there are others but corys are the only ones I've seen do it. Corys were very popular with a friends kids when they were teens. They would bring their friends in to see the farting fish

Re: Do fish fart?

What about my boyfriend's joooooke? You don't realize: he's really not that funny usually. You'd better really enjoy this one, because the next funny one could be in a few months' time! Oooops, he just read over my shoulder. Am in trouble.

Re: Do fish fart?

Well, going off of the fact that I've never seen a fish blow bubbles out thier rear... anyways, as stated earlier, the gi track is different. Plus, there is no methane released into fish tanks that I know of. I don't think methane combines with water, so there should be some sign of it coming out of the fish. Or, if it does combine with water, the levels could reach a toxic state fairly fast. Perhaps if you count the molecular exchange that occurs in a fish's gills as farting... But otherwise, i would say no.

As a side note, I know fishes are constantly peeing though (seemed to fit in this discussion, hehe.). that's the only way they can keep thier bodies from exploding as the water is trying to reach euqilibrium. So, if you ever want a cheap laugh, point at your fish and yell "You're peeing! And you're still peeing! And you're still peeing!" Makes my day sometimes...
