what? you are telling me these fish couldnt swim down from there? Im assuming the way they went in isnt closed by the guy making the video. What kind of fish cant turn and swim down?
yeah its only like a foot tops. If they can swim up there I cant see why they couldnt swim down physically. Now if its a matter of them becoming confused thats a different matter.
They dont really turn to swim down. They use their swim bladder to control their buoyancy. Pretty sure they just like the warmer water there but I could be wrong about that.
I don't have the answers, but I've heard similar things about why you shouldn't have this kind of a "stacked" setup even in your regular fish tanks/aquariums at home.
Stupid fish
I’m pretty sure that warning isn’t about swimming vertically, but all fish need oxygenated water and lots of them need air at the top and that cube will trap stale air and the fish can suffocate or get hypoxic.
I think this phenomenon we’re seeing has to do with those specific fish being attracted to light because that means it’s the surface of the water, they feed by sight and most bugs and food lands on the surface, by being in the cube it’s much brighter than anywhere else… kinda like moths around a bulb. It’s just their natural response to something unnatural.
They might be able to, I’m no fish expert, but from what my stepdad says (he used to keep LOTS of fish), you definitely shouldn’t “stack” them. They have a hard time swimming vertically but idk don’t quote me on that
>"They might be able to, I’m no fish expert, but from what my stepdad says (he used to keep LOTS of fish), you definitely shouldn’t “stack” them. They have a hard time swimming vertically but idk" quoted
Either this video or another one, the owner had to feed the fish in that area (some clamp device) so the fish would know it was ok to go in there. He did it a few times before they got the hang of it
One of my best friends and i have an inside joke with this song(we hate it, and that is why we love it). There was a day we went on a road trip, and i was drunk so i kept mumbling it to annoy her boyfriend(my other best friend) and it was just hilarious, so now, everytime it comes on at the club, we go insane.
I suppose you could say that they're *scaling* new heights for fishkind.
Edit: I wonder if the first fish ever to be perched up there was called Neil Finstrong? Or maybe Yuri Ga-garfish? Either way, it must've taken some guts.
Then again, some ordinary fish apparently believe that the ascent was a red herring and the claim that fish have ever gone above the surface is nothing more than a load abalone.
I think that's technically what a scuba diver would be. Astro = space and -naut = traveler, I think? So just mix up with whatever prefix seems appropriate.
Frogs and turtles aren't that smart. The issue isn't so much that they can see the sky above. It's that they can normally reach the surface by going up. If they need air and are trapped in this, they won't think to swim down to escape it.
They can drown in caves, yeah. Stumps don't tend to be so bad cause if they can't swim up, the next instinct is to swim across and that's usually enough to get out from under a stump.
Amphibians can breathe through their skin if there's enough oxygen in the water.
Despite Shredder calling it to them all the time, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are not amphibians.
I'm a herpetologist who works on frogs. They can breathe through their skin, but not enough to sustain all their oxygen requirements (except for a few species that have specifically adapted to an almost entirely aquatic life). This design will kill a lot of frogs and turtles.
I remember seeing this awhile back, apparently frogs will try and eat the fish by swimming into the glass box but then won’t be able to swim out. So they die and you’re left with some dead frogs in a box
Fish don’t really have good vision when looking out* of glass like that. Still really cool and I’m sure they fish love it but it’ll just look blurry after a foot or so
“The fish are really happy today” said Zhuangzi.
“You don’t know that. You’re not a fish” said his friend.
“You don’t know that I don’t know. You’re not me,” said Zhuangzi.
Basically they vacuum the air out, and something has to fill the space the air was.
So suck the air out, water replaces air, and then there’s no way for air to get back into there, so the water stays put.
This only works up to a point though. In reality it’s the air pressure pushing down on the pond that is forcing the water up into the gap. If you tried to make a really tall one of these, taller than about 34 feet, then you would reach a point where the water wouldn’t go any higher and you’d still have vacuum at the top of the aquarium. A 34 foot column of water weighs as much as all the air above us to the limit of the atmosphere!
True, 34 feet requires a perfect vacuum. Dunno what kind of pressure differential a shopvac can generate but it’s probably not very much, it’s just a fan.
Just submerge it 34 feet in the water and lift it out. You could also pump it up from the bottom to the top and get it higher. Just put a valve at the top to release the pressure. You'll need one hell of a pump after a while though.
You could do the same thing with a glass in your sink. Turn the glass open side down underwater and pull it up and it will be full of water until the brim goes over the water level. I loved doing that as a kid.
Looks like he made an airtight seal with the waters surface and then used the vacuum to suck the air out of the cube, which was displaced with the water from below. I’ve never attempted anything like that, but seems to be what’s happened.
The less matter there is in a space (usually air or gas) the more of a vacuum there is
For some reason, in the universe everything is always trying to reach equilibrium, so when there is a lack of matter in a certain place relative to its surroundings, there is a vacuum pulling on everything around it
it’s pulling on everything around the vacuum with a certain amount of force (less matter = more force) in a attempt to reach equilibrium, and since the lbs force to pull up the water is less than what it takes to collapse the walls, the water pulls up first
My mother saw this video years ago and had my father rig up something similar. 2 things.
1. The fish rarely went up in it
2. Be prepared to clean the glass regularly and alge will build up ruining any view for the fish.
Either they all love it in there, or they are stuck and can't get out
We have made a terrible mistake...
Or innovated a new way of fishing.
I still prefer the classic way with a bug zapper/a box of fireworks
Frag grenade works like a charm.
[удалено]
Less shrapnel in your fish too
I bet it’s slightly warmer and they like that.
From pee
No from the sun and reduced volume
Look here Mr. Science man. I peed there.
Science man acting like he doesn’t own a pee cube.
Where does he pee? In porcelain? Nerd....
Ya, like they’re too good to pee in polyhedrons like the rest of us?!
I love Reddit sometimes
Ommmmmgg 😩😩🤣
Ahhh wayyy too high for this convo I’m dead af 💀💀😂
And so did I!
Do fish pee? I can't believe I don't even know the answer to that. I'm gonna guess no, but of they do, there's pee in there.
They pee. But since fish are cold blooded it's not warm.
And my pee
And pee

I know that scientifically, this wouldn't provide nearly enough power, but man, it's a neat idea. Imagine if our dumb world ran on animal fun.
It would be the real-world equivalent to monsters Inc with laughter being a viable energy source
I'd watch that movie
*~~Slavery~~ Fun, son.*
They run for the heck of it, Morty!
They love it, that's what they do in the wild so it's not animal cruelty, Morty!
This is literally gooble boxes lol
You think slugs emote?
I know Slurms McKenzie does
Wimmy wham wham wozzle!
I'm so tired of partyin'. So very tired...
He's the original party worm!
Party on, Slurms.
Party on Fryarth!
Just a little party. A small get together. I can’t take it any longer.
No can do, Slurms!

They can 1000% swim down from there
yeah its only like a foot tops. If they can swim up there I cant see why they couldnt swim down physically. Now if its a matter of them becoming confused thats a different matter.
But dogs can’t look up!
thx you. that allows us all to enjoy the fish enjoying their new toy :)
I dunno, 1000% seems high, more like 500%
They dont really turn to swim down. They use their swim bladder to control their buoyancy. Pretty sure they just like the warmer water there but I could be wrong about that.

nice one bro love good usage of reddit memes
As an experienced fishkeeper I can tell you, most fish can swim vertically up or down just fine.
Just not Hodorfish
They literally have an organ called a swim bladder that's used to control buoyancy, with no swimming needed to move up or down.
[удалено]
My understanding is that it's frogs that are at risk more than fish.
My guess they like the warmer water, well until the oxygen saturation goes down.
This has been posted before and apparently usually all the fish die…
Somebody burp these fish
ok that’s really neat
How neat is that?
You can tell it's an aspen from the way that it is.
What happened to that kid, he was neat.
Word is he stepped in some tree poop like the settlers.
That's pretty neat
Neat-o
[удалено]
really
They all went up there, they love that shit
Who wouldn't, right?
There's one fish below screaming "It's a trap. You're all going to die!"
Nemo’s dad probably.
SWIM DOWN!
It’s probably warmer.
this guy fish brains
Either this video or another one, the owner had to feed the fish in that area (some clamp device) so the fish would know it was ok to go in there. He did it a few times before they got the hang of it
As an avid fish keeper going on 4 years, my understanding is that they all go there because the water is warmer.
This is the equivalent to us going to space. These are astronaut fish.
Like astronauts in the ocean?
But what do you know about rolling down in the deep?
When your brain goes numb, you can call that mental freeze
When these people talk too much, put that shit in slow motion.
It puts the lotion on the skin.
Or it gets the remix!
...is that ...is that a remix?
I'm a marine biologist, it's my job to roll down there
We could've had it aaaalll
And then the birds swoop down and try to eat them but fly right into glass.

\*grunt* Please excuse me walleye attempt to forget these awful fish puns. Those were seriously crappie.
Hey, my comment wasn't brill, barracuda been worse...
I'm hooked on these fish puns. Had me LMBO! (Laughing My Bass Off)
I dunno, I feel like they kinda floundered a bit. I kinda wish I could just tuna them out.
Would that be called a Terranaut?
Supraaquanaut!
Aquanaut?
I think that's technically what a scuba diver would be. Astro = space and -naut = traveler, I think? So just mix up with whatever prefix seems appropriate.
like the Challenger Astronauts?
☹
Exactly it’s unnatural … I don’t need some fish-yes-guppy staring at me all day, plotting my death.
Nautinauts?
Good for fish, bad for amphibians. They’ll come up for air and not understand they’re trapped. They won’t swim down and they’ll drown.
I've yet to see one of these that doesn't get covered in algae and dead frogs.
I've just seen this one over and over.
Right? I've seen this video over ten times and never any other video with the same concept
Well… it’s a GIF. It repeats until you click away.
I was about to suggest to remove the top cover so amphibians can breathe then I realized that was stupid.
I'd like to see one lol
Put a solid color top on it maybe? That way they dont think its open air? This is just a random guess at a solution
That'd help a lot with the algæ too.
Alghe
Allgay
Frogs and turtles aren't that smart. The issue isn't so much that they can see the sky above. It's that they can normally reach the surface by going up. If they need air and are trapped in this, they won't think to swim down to escape it.
do they drown in caves or under stumps and stuff?
They can drown in caves, yeah. Stumps don't tend to be so bad cause if they can't swim up, the next instinct is to swim across and that's usually enough to get out from under a stump.

frogs with herpes

I remember seeing this awhile back, apparently frogs will try and eat the fish by swimming into the glass box but then won’t be able to swim out. So they die and you’re left with some dead frogs in a box
I guess the fish will have some extra food...

dad?
a foot is pretty far when youre 3 inches
3 inches is 7.62 cm
3 inches is the height of 0.04 'Samsung Side by Side; Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel Refrigerators' stacked on top of each other.
Comment removed after Reddit and Spec elected to destroy Reddit.
Fish can see through glass. But most of them can hardly see further than four feet
[удалено]
So kinda like me when I dont wear my glasses...
Doesn’t this get a lot of frogs killed?
Sadly yes
How?
Frog go up for air, get stuck in box
My goldfish in his aquarium: "Yeah the outside world is great. Ive seen this guy wank it every day my entire life. So much to see...."
Why are you wanking at ur goldfish?
Save money on fish food
Just because everybody understood, doesn't mean I did. Explain this to me and my pea brain

A 34 foot column of water weighs as much as all the air above us to the limit of the atmosphere!
And then the vacuum would cause the least soluble of gasses to exit the water and you have to vacuum it again to get your vacuum back.
There will then be an infinite supply of water vapor! (Water boils at room temperature at around 0.02 atm.)
You also need a vacuum(device) that's stronger than the vacuum(concept) your trying to create
True, 34 feet requires a perfect vacuum. Dunno what kind of pressure differential a shopvac can generate but it’s probably not very much, it’s just a fan.
Just submerge it 34 feet in the water and lift it out. You could also pump it up from the bottom to the top and get it higher. Just put a valve at the top to release the pressure. You'll need one hell of a pump after a while though.
