Fish don't fart. Right?

[kpiotrowski]

I mean in all my years of fishkeeping I have NEVER seen a bubble come out of one's . So I guess its safe to say.

My blue Tang does it all the time. Just swimming around and then all of a sudden a grouping of bubbles come out as rise to the top. Don't see why they wouldn't, they eat food and have to have bacteria in the stomach to break down the food. By product of the bacteria is gas.

Now why did come up with an intelligent answer right away? I was trying to have fun with it. seriously though, the largest fish I have ever had were fw oscars....and I guess they were very discrete.

LOL
Leave it to you to think up a topic like this.

Actually, one does, although it is not due to the digestive process of the fish.

If a fish farts in a aquarium, does it make a sound?

 

[MGDMIRAGE]

No but I'm sure it is felt by the lateral line.

 

[mcdonaldjosh7]

Just when you think we are a mature forum....BOOM! Fish fart...

I was able to change my fish's diet and get rid of all my MP40's and Koralias. I switched them to a bean based flake food and the turbulence created by all the fish flatulence creates laminar flow and so supplementary flow is not needed.

Won't your parameters change when you go to a larger tank. I gas you will figure that out when you fart around with it.
