If you freeze a goldfish..

Doggirl1995 · May 2009

Can you unthaw it and bring it back to life? First of all I've never tried. xD Someone mentioned it to me, and I thought it was an interesting topic. I'm googling it, there are some interesting views. xDD Has anyone else ever heard of this? lmao

rohesia · May 2009

my view is... dont do it lol. idk, my biology classes are steering me towards the 'no' side of things.

xD As far as I know, when you freeze something, it dies. I think goldfish can survive in very cold water though, so they would be fine even their pond freezes over in winter, but if you were to take one and freeze it solid in a block of ice I assume you wouldn't be able to revive it xD I don't know if that goes for all fish though. Jellyfish are very creepy and I think they've probably got magic powers. I don't like Jellyfish ;_;

Majykal jellys? (yes, yes, I purposely butchered "magical".)

hmm I didn't know you could do this do fish. hmm I have done this sorta to a fly before. Only difference is you drown it and then once it be drowned you pour salt over it and it comes back to life. I don't know exactly what happens but it was cool to watch.

Lmao! This reminds me, when I was like 5 or 6, I tried hatching eggs that we bought from the store. XD

I wouldn't do this... It's animal cruelty!

Zagari Wolf · May 2009

No, it wouldn't come back to life. Freezing is one of the approved "humane" ways of euthanizing a fish. In my opinion, it is FAR from humane. It can take hours to actually kill the fish. If you need to euth. a fish, I suggest using a mixture of vodka and clove oil. The fish will be dead in a matter of seconds. Just for anyone's random knowledge.

xDDD I guess it could be animal cruelty, but only if it dies. xD I never knew that Zag. xD Maybe, most people who say yes, have left them in a pond and the fish aren't completely frozen? I really have no idea. xD Panda. xDDD When I was little I always wanted to do that. lmao Just so you all know.. I have no plans on 'testing' this theory. lmao Oh and Moss, I read once that Jellyfish are made mostly of water, so I wonder if you froze one, if it would just turn to ice. o.o

I was sitting there going "Please tell me she didn't freeze her poor fishie..." lmao

Doggirl1995 · May 2009

I don't even have a fish xD But if I did I wouldn't be experimenting with it. :<

TheProtector · May 2009

lmao...its one of those unexplainable fenaminans (yes i know i spelled that like a 2yr old XD) kinda like the way the only sound that doesnt echo is the quack of the duck lol

Doggirl1995 · May 2009

Really?! I never knew that xDD And I think you mean phenomenon. xD

Alliieennss · May 2009

Duck quacks echo. That myths been busted on two shows already xD.

lmao I've never even heard of the myth.

You need to watch more Animal Planet and Discovery Channel xD.

TheProtector · May 2009

lol it has? They busted that Peeing on an Electric Fence wouldn't shock you... Truth was, it does

Never try it it hurts bad XD

Doggirl1995 · May 2009

LOL, not reviving it! Freezing it, aka, killing it.

Mythbusters busted that myth. xD Quacks echo - they tested it using duckies and computers. *feels nerdy* It was in Season...3? After they finished testing they gave the experimetal duckies a permanent lovely home. (: EDIT: Didn't see that people already mentioned it. >,<

If you put a frog in a freezer, and take it back out it'll "come back to life." Google that.

Layout · May 2009

o.o Don't freeze goldfish! x3

An important thing to note is that when you freeze something, ice crystals form (duh lol). The thing is, these ice crystals have a propensity to pierce the cell wall membranes of living organisms. It's a complete internal laceration - even if you were to thaw them out, re-oxygenate them, and give them a stimulating electrical shock, all of their cells are full of holes that aren't supposed to be there, and they lose all ability to control what comes in and out of them, and die. If you could revive the organism in questions which I believe is 1) impossible and 2) highly inadvisable. I can't even imagine that kind of pain. While SOME species of frogs can survive being frozen over because of a natural glucose (form of sugar) that acts as an antifreeze and prevents crystallization, it is not the same and being frozen solid, because the ice crystals never form and their cells are not perforated.

Boz · May 2009

I just was watching a science show one time and they did it. xD I would never attempt it! I rather freeze a two graham crackers with a slice of banana and peanut butter in the middle. Mmmm.... Yummy...

Erra · May 2009

Lol yes, I just saw that and was all like, "o.o oh noes! must save the froggehs from people that dun do research!!!"

Dispirited · May 2009

People freeze fish to kill them... I dont think your idea is a great one. lmao

Doggirl1995 · May 2009

I guess you smart fish people proved my theory wrong. xDDD Middy.. not many of my ideas are great. Dx

Erra · May 2009

I can't imagine being frozen to death - I mean, it must be like falling asleep, but every living organism has a drive to survive built into them, and being trapped in an environment that is rapidly becoming unlivable would be awful. I can't say how it is for a fish, it must be a question of the lsser of two evils, but still -shuffer-

Howdy, Stranger!

If you freeze a goldfish..
