The answer is that fish do drink water -- all animals (including ourselves) need water to survive. They also extract oxygen from water in order to breathe. But what about fish that swim in the ocean? Do they drink salt water? Yes, but saltwater fish excrete a lot of salt with the help of their gills. That's why most fish taste surprisingly unsalty -- that is, except for sharks.

Drinking water means they must entirely enter into digestive system , Fishes swallow water to cpture small organisms ,in that way some water enters into digestive canal and much water entered lose through gills , where impure blood is being supplied,there there will be a direct contact of gill membrane,with impure blood, with water and oxygen is extracted making the blood pure. so, even though a fish intakes a large amount of water only some is for drinking purpose and most of it is for respiration purpose.

Fish many times characterize human beings. reckoning on the physique of water you're seeing, it is specific to places which you understand. A pool with fish can characterize a house. A pond with fish can characterize a corporation. A lake with fish can characterize a intense college. purely some examples. yet black fish can characterize people who're non secular lifeless and walked in wickedness.

Fish breathe by driking water. Their gills extract oxygen from that water. So the answer is yes.

Common sense if the fish are surrounded by water and only water they have no choice.
