If god told Noah to take 2 of every animal into the ark..?

Question

...did he take the fish on board? If he did, how did he keep them?

If god told Noah to take 2 of every animal that 'creeps on the earth', what about animals that can walk or hop? I know the fish would have been alright by the way, I'm not stupid! Then again we are talking flood waters and swirling waves, a storm like never before across the face of the earth! Maybe the fish might not have survived that if left in the water.

Answer 1

Did he take fish? You bet...600 cans of tuna, 450 tins of sardines, 30 jars of anchovies...and 450 boxes of frozen fish sticks. He kept most in the galley pantry, the sticks in the freezer.

Answer 2

How would he manage to accomodate both fresh water AND salt water fish? If the whole world flooded for 40 days and nights with rain water, then, theoretically, all the salt water fish would die.
Fact is, the Noah's Ark story is a hand-me-down tale that's evolved over the millenia from the time of the receding glaciers during the ice age. The melting ice caused world wide flooding for hundreds of years and this has been 'storied' by Hebrews, NA Indians, Chinese, Aussie Aboriginals, etc. All cultures of man have their own tales of the great floods that killed thousands of their kinsmen and dislodged thousands more. And, as with any story, the tales grew with the telling with one such version being submitted into the Bible as a catastrophic act of god.

Answer 3

God told Noah to take 2 of every animal that creeps on the earth into the ark.

Answer 4

Noah took 2 of every animal on land into the ark. Noah's sons
DID NOT marry after the flood. They were already married before the flood, and got to ride in the ark. There were Noah,& Mrs Noah, and their 3 sons & 3 daughter-in-laws.

Answer 5

It would have had to be a hell of a big fish tank or, if we are talking of biblical times, the fish may still have been forming into sharks, dolphins etc and would only have been the size of amoebas thereby enabling Good Old Noah to house them in a very small tank. We assume he wasn't short of water to enable him and his myriad family to keep them fresh and clean and ready to turn into the killing machines they are today. Where did he house the alligators and crocs and what did he feed them ?? I don't fancy his chances either with the big cats. I bet by the time he reached dry land he had fewer creatures than he started with. We shall never know.

Answer 6

Think about it. That must of been one hell of a boat to get two of every animal, their food, straw, water and noah and his family and their food & water onboard to last them until they found land. It would of been like a wooden titanic but bigger. If this was the case then I'm sure there would of been room for a few fish tanks to house two of every breed of whale. Two of every breed of shark and two of every other sea going creature in exsitence. Then you have to take in to account that they would of had to been kept in separate holding tanks or they would of eaten each other. The size of this ark is growing biger by the moment. Do you think the Unicorns were eaten by the sharks? How many holding cages would there of been for all the animals. The size of them must of been massive. Elephants, bears, lions, tigers, wolves. All of these would of been kept in cages made from wood. You're not trying to tell me that they wouldn't of escaped at some point and noah and his soons controlled them with stick and spears. If the story of noah is true then the ark would of arrived at it's destination empty apart from a few feathers, arms, legs and a lot of blood.

Answer 7

in the bible Noah was instructed by god to build an ark that would last for forty days and forty nights during the terrible storm.
God also instructed noah that he should take two of every animal of the LAND one male one female to live on the ark for forty days and forty nights during the terrible storm.
Does this give you an incling into what he should have done with the fish???
if not send us a message for instant answer.

Answer 8

I don't think he would have to considering Noah built an ark for a flood and since fish can swim I don't think they had a problem surviving but, that's just my guess

Answer 9

I think God chose Noah because He knew that Noah was smart enough to figure out that the fish could fend for themselves during the flood.

Answer 10

God did not tell Noah to take two of every animal. Read the story.

Answer 11

Well, there are 2 different accounts for that, in one god says to take 2 of every kind of animal, like we are usually told. In the other, god says to take 2 of every non-clean animal and 7 of every clean animal.
