Crazy question of the year :-)

[Fitzy]

When Emma and I were feeding Koi Carp in a hotel in Cebu, she came out with a very strange question

Hon, she said grinning, to which i replied yes dear, observing her adorable big grin. Do fish perspire???
To this, I was literally rolling around laughing

Now, Emma is in my opinion an extremely intelligent inquisitive girl, and I said I would ask around on the forum to gain a few laughs, opposed to googling it.

So there we have the question?

Do fish perspire

I am no real expert, but...............

Fish do transfer their waste through a process called osmosis. Not waste as in poop, but it is more like salts and minerals that can transfer through the skin of the fish

So.............yes, you can say that they perspire.

Wow, that's really cool Steve hehehehe
I have owned many tropical fish in the past, but never knew they excreted waste through osmosis.

Will show Emma the post

Cool, glad to help

I am currently running a 2500ltr tropical system. I keep Discus (mostly, I picked up a group of wild Scalare Angels today) but it is my passion, I am also an international aquatic judge . I was at a tropical fish convention in Singapore last year when I met my Mahal, so good things come from my little hobby

Try frying a live one and see if it sweats!

I think I would be the one sweating if you tried that with any of my fish

Especially if they were Koi, and costly

Especially if they were Koi, and costly

I won't tell you what I paid for a small group of fish recently, but I could have flown to Phils easily.........
