Can a fish drown???????

[ChickaChickaCheer]

In water?

 

[Juxta roberto]

Drowning means specifically suffocating because of excess water in the lungs. Most fish don't even have lungs, so no, fish can't drown.

Yes, if it is an anabantid/labyrinthian fish, such as gouramis and betta splendens. These fish have special organs that let them live underwater using oxygen from the surface. Without access to oxygen, they will die.

Yes / they need to have a steady flow of water

 

[The Jam]

yes if there is too many fish in a tank, or there is not enough surface area a fish can die from lack of oxygen dissolved in water

 

[Vball4life]

Absolutely not!!
