Do fish swim in beer?

Question

I was cleaning my fish tank and didnt have a place to temporarily hold my gold fish... inadvertently putting him in a glass containing beer. Two minutes later it was brain dead...although it still moves its tail. Any hope of revovery?

Answer 1

Well, That was'nt a smart thing to do. Fish need Oxygen to swim. Beer doesnt provide oxygen because of it's alchahol content. You should give the fish some fresh water and let it wim a bit, and hopefully, the fish will get better.

Answer 2

I'm guessing this is a joke... Nobody would actually do this to a fish (even a goldfish deserves better).

The nicest thing you could do for it now is to put it out of its' misery by putting it in a cup of water and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours (the most humane way to put down terminally ill or damaged aquarium residents).

Answer 3

this is a first. i'm going to say no because fish take the oxygen out of the water to live. not sure if putting the fish in beer was a good move to start with..where was your head?? but 2 of my goldfish just died early this morning...but they was like old as hell too.

Answer 4

Ahhhh, fish+beer=dead fish. First of all, there are WAY too many chemicals in beer are too strong for a fish. Second of all, beer is too carbonated, Fish need to breath disovled oxegen that is found in water, not carbon dioxide.

Answer 5

Only until it dies, or in the case of your fish, gets brain dead.

Answer 6

Why didnt you just fill the sink with water and leave it in there?

dork.

Answer 7

Answer 9

Answer 10

That was really stupid. it won't recover. it will probably die.
