could you imagine buying fish from the LFS frozen and then bringing them home and bringing them back and putting them in the tank

hmm... so if I buy a box of these achilles tangs and shipped them frozen to me. I will be able to bring them back to live??

Lmao. I love how sincere he sounds as well. I also like how he 'throws' the fish into the container of water. I have used a similar technique to revive partially dried fish off the floor and such (put them back into the water... 'fish' them back and forth through the water to get Oxygen moving through their gills). It has been successful before... but its hilarious with trying this on frozen fish lol.

PS. Many types of frogs can be frozen and revived!

Every insect that live in cold countries will do that (except those that live in water that does not freeze), or else they would all die during the winter and it would be the end of it.

We have a garden pool and each winter it freeze all the way to the bottom because it is too small for any water to remain unfrozen, yet each spring when I clean it it is full of nice dragon fly larveas and they are alive and healthy. They have started to establish in there a few years ago and now each year we have those huge green darner dragonfly hatching from our garden pool at night.

Of course what ever fish we forget in there is totally and absolutely doomed.
