Crazy Fact about Marine Fish

[Cottonwood]

So this just came up on my google random facts page that I have. I haven't looked into it yet, I just saw it. Kinda crazy though!

Most tropical marine fish could survive in a tank filled with human blood. :shock:

Well there's a pleasant thought.

HMMmmmm
I guess anything is possible.

I find it hard to believe.

Great! Now I know if my Tangs strike me I can continue to clean my tank without any worries.

I think it's because the specific gravity and salt content of seawater and blood are very similar... Not sure exactly though.

anyone want to bleed out into their tanks in the name of scientific discovery?

 

[Bifferwine]

I did tonight already.

I have been looking around online...I don't think its true, but like Biff said in theory some people say it should work because of that stuff. However I don't think it would actually work....
