Do fish fart?

HI everyone

BettaCouple, in his great maturity ;D, was wondering whether fish farted. Any idea?

 

I believe they do, when fed mexican food.

 

How can we check? Nice little experiment. Oooo, I know. Feed them baked beans (without sauce).

 

I believe they do...besides the mexican food. Lol Know where I can get mixican fish food, FLBCouple?!!

..yall are nuts..do fish fart?.. no they don't. they do not have the same gI track as we do.

 

But then you need to vote no, to support my 'fish don't fart' motion.

No, I meant to vote in the poll, using the radio button. Then it shows in the stats.

Do you know what? Maybe you don't even see these buttons until you have a certain number of posts to your name. Do you not see a horizontal bar chart on top of this topic? With the results of the poll so far? If you don't, it could be that you don't have access yet. It will come soon if that's the case.

Shame, I needed the political support!

 

armadillo, what's your email its iching me to show you my 75 gal tank because I can't rezise my pics for the site it don't like me.

try downloading a program called Gimp - it will let you save your picture resized to be smaller.

political, eh? well then, I say fish have the right to fart and if they want to, then they should not be prohibited from freedom of passing gas by genetic intolerance!

it is true that we don't feed our fish mexican food, but we're nuts too.

ok armadillo - your wish is my command and we can now hold elections for/against fish farting!

 

Off course fish fart.....that's why we use the airstones......... :-\, right?

 

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

Serious? Wow, now THAT's interesting! Have you only seen cories do that?

lol.. farting power to the fishes! go cories! pass the gas!

 

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

 

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

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.

 

I was still chewing that one over Was kind of cute though

I have seen my fish fart before.

Well I know that fish burp!! I've seen them do it.

 

Ok...someone feed your least favorite fish some beans and let us know the results. :

u don't have to feed beans, all fish fart, there's n doubt about that, I said it before and i'm saying it again it is their birthright.

 

Well, going off of the fact that I've never seen a fish blow bubbles out their 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 their 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...

 

I hope fish fart that would just make my kids day

lol.. well let them laugh since some fish do.

 

I tryed down loading gimp this today didnt work...

 

this thread = proof that farts are funny to everyone, of all ages and backgrounds.

**in tears with the giggles**

 

Cool link! Hey, SemanticDrift, have you ever found decent articles on fish memory? I can't find anything vulgarised yet serious, and I do not want to sieve through tons of abstracts in scientific papers.

 

it's not the fart...it's the terrible noise that they make which is funny ;D...... :-\

 

LOL!!!! I have never seen my fish fart................. this is a vey strange topic ;D!!!!! Miley :-* 8)

 

I have seen fish give off bubbles (fart).
But only when they are sick.
I also have seen fish "constipated" this too is a sign of an unhealthy fish.

lol.. well you've talked to me miley - you know i'm a very strange fellow.. remember the Goofy hat - that's me!

 

if they fart, then you would see bubbles floating towards the surface, i've never seen that, so i'm assuming they don't. lol... ???

 

I have not read the entirity of the thread, but here is what I know.

Methane or CH4 is one of the simplest carbon compounds. Breaking down almost any organic compound will produce methane. Any animal with more than one chamber digestive system will produce methane, which in turn will have to be passed. So any animal with more than a one chamber digestive system will fart. Humans have a mechanism to "belch" also, which is just a fart out of the other end, most other animals do not have a belching mechanism. (that could in theory be why you notice dogs, cows, horses, etc farting quite a bit)

 

I know for a fact they fart: My Angelfish keep letting these little air bubbles out of their hindquarters all the time ... and that can't be anything other than farting, right?

If they start farting well, I might even consider removing the airpump from their tank. They'd probably do the job well enough themselves ...

 

lol.. like the old song "i'm forever blowing bubbles"?
