Let me share this with you. I was clearing out my garden pond yesterday at 4.30pm, and took out a great clump of overgrown oxygenating plant. I checked through it to see if any of my 3 goldfish were in it, and I could not see any. Leaving this clump on the path until today (5pm), I saw to my horror one of my prized fish lying amongst the now dry plants - itself dry and splatered with dirt. I picked it up ready to give it a sad but honory burial, when I noticed a small movement. With that, I placed it back in the water, and within 30 minutes,it was swimming with his two mates again. Now how on earth can a fish survive for 24 hours out of water? Answer me that, oh wise ones. I now call this fish David Blane. His next trick is to survive a fish soup, boiled in a saucepan for 20 minutes - only kiddin'!! The pond story is true - honest!
