most likely he jumped out, I had an orfe found the slit in the plastic covering over
the pond (it is now netted year round).
yeah, it is amazing how long they survive in the air. but consider they are air
breathers so as long as their gills are wet and dissolving oxygen and in cold weather
they dont need much oxygen. in hot weather the gills would dessicate and then the
fish would die. Ingrid

What do you make of this? I still find it incredible that a fish can go
all
that time without water, but he seems fine now. And how did he get out?
The
pond is undisturbed otherwise.
