We just bought a Angelina loach and then it was gone, nowhere to be found for 3 days. So we thought it died, we searched everywhere and we thought the catfish ate it, so we took out the catfish. But before we could catch the catfish we took out the sunken ship we had in the tank. So then it took me 5 minutes or so to catch the catfish then I was watching it in the other tank to make sure it was ok for 5 minutes. Then I go back to the first tank and put the sunken ship back in. 5 minutes later I see the loach come out of the sunken ship alive and well!!!! So he was in the inside of the ship attached to the side or something for 10 minutes completely out of the water and survived!!
Amazing or not???

Not really, loaches can be out of water for hours sometimes.
When I was little my parents had clown loaches and we used to sometimes find them dried up on the ground (they were jumpers) and if weput them back in the tank, more often then not they would be fine

Many species of catfish are capable of surviving up to 24 hours out of water. Loaches are similar to catfish, so I'm not surprised

Tighten it up, Cheese. Too much dead-wood, etc. in this piece. (Revised Lines 1 through 3) It's rare when something happens that's so strange, you feel an urgency to capture this event in words. Summer, 2008, I experienced this. I could hardly wait to reach my PC and began typing. Avoid having all sentences stretching from margin to margin. Find interesting "break points", eliminate unnecessary descriptions and declarations the readers will assume and become a participant. Good story, Cheese.

Heres another one for you. A man caught a Flatfish and put it in his fridge to keep it fresh as you would do. The next day he went to the fridge and took the fish out and found to his amazement that it was still alive. He put it in water and it was sent to an aquaraium where it still lives today and thats true I promiise you. I cant remember which country this happened in ,I think it was England , Mabe somebody will be able to tell us..

Some fish do really well out of water. Web search these guys. Green Snakehead,Clarius Catfish, African Lungfish. All of them can spend a lot of time out of the water with no ill affects.------PeeTee
