anyone know how long a fish can survive out of water ?

Same thing happened to my Pixie Hawkfish, unfortuantly my cat found him before I did .

On my way out the door to work one morning I found my LMB totally crispy, not moving and covered in cat hair and lint on the tile - popped him back in the tank and by the time I got home he was good as new.....freakish.


My yellow wrasse also jumped out twice - once I found him right away....the second time, not so lucky I miss that fish!

I think some fish can last longer than others.

I had a turbo snail out of the tank for at least four days once. I know because I had the top off cleaning, then went away for a few days. When I got back I could see a trail down the outside of the tank and down behind the stand. Thought he was a gonner too, put him in a small cup with water and whola, good as new!

Well she didn't approve of the cats but I think it would of been a crispy hawkfish regardless of being chewed on by Munson. He was such a cool fish too .

Well last time I tried to give her a hand written card and some valium I got beaten so... I no longer get my mother presents, instead I waste all of my money on fish that jump out of my tank and get eaten by my cats .




















(Ahah JK bout the beating thing)
