Do Fish Fart?

Answer 1

lol.. haha... that's something new for me... maybe when a fish farts, its like a NOS thing u see in 2fast 2furious and they blast off!!!

Answer 2

Actually according to the Ontario Science Centre whether or not fish fart, is an ongoing debate.

Some experts say that the digestive gasses of fish are consolidated with their food waste and expelled in gelatinous tubes which fish then eat.

But, fish have been known to emit bubbles due to an excess intake of air. For instance the sand tiger shark purposefully gulps air into its stomach at the surface then farts it out at the other end so it sinks to its desired depth.

Answer 3

Of course, they blame the dog or swim into the bubble stones to hide it - they invented bubble stones you know, just for that purpose :D

But yes - they do. Occasionally you will see a fish poo with a bubble in it that causes it to float straight to the surface, that is a fish fart :P

Answer 4

Yes, of course. Passing gas is a natural function of the animal living process. Many a time, have i seen a small bubble passed from the anus of a fish. I have also seen fish burp and throw up.

Answer 5

yes i used to work in a fish farm and i was responsible for catching fish farts and putting them in spirit levels.hope that helps

Answer 6

Not really. They excrete their waste in small gelatinous parcels, however, occassionally there will be air (or more likely oxygen) in the parcels causing them to float to the surface, whilst others simply sink to the bottom of the tank/ocean...
