Can Fish Drown?
The short answer is… Yes, but not in the way that humans can drown. Due to circumstances or conditions in the tank, a fish can not successfully reach high enough oxygen levels needed to survive. So, a fish can suffocate from not getting enough oxygen.
How Can Fish Drown
The largest contributors to a fish drowning is the fish tank conditions.
- Keeping too many fish in a tank can deplete oxygen levels to dangerous levels for your fishie friends.
- Algae blooms can explode and offset the natural order of a healthy, oxygenated fish tank.
- If a tanks water temperature is too high, it can make it harder for the fish to dissolve the oxygen in the water.
- If the water flow is stagnant, it can impede the natural cycle of oxygen gathering from the fish.
