Tropical Fish Tank Supplies

I read somewhere that most marine tropical fish can live in a tank of human blood - pH and salinity are nearly as salt water. But how is this possible? Do fish lungs even work the same way as humans? Can they extract oxygen from hemoglobin in the blood? And ... if you run an air pump in the blood would not clot blood or at least freeze?

Unless you're a hungry leech or a parasite of the blood, NO, tropical fish, or anything else, can not survive in a pool of blood ............ .

I do not know where you got this horrible idea, but this is not true. And if anyone thinks that this myth and decided to test it, which not only make a person clinically insane and sick, but they have PETA on their A ** in a heartbeat .... (Do not say that their support for all ...)

If sadly, the basis of this county is a myth haunt the internet media and many have accepted as fact without doing the research itself. The myth of review here is "Is it true that blood has the same pH and salinity of salt water from oceans / ?"....

So, here are the facts:

A pH of 7 is neutral. The higher the pH the more acidic and higher, the most basic. The normal pH of blood is tightly regulated between 7.35 and 7.45. Sea water has a pH of from 8 to 8.16.

The salinity of blood is about 0.9% salt concentration generally, where the seawater is about 3.1% and 3.8% on average.

End Conclusion:
No, the blood and salt water are not the same. Blood is slightly acidic and salty water is saltier than Ruffly 9x our blood. Salt water could easily kill us, like a reservoir of our blood ocean fish kill.


BTW, the fish have no lungs, they have gills. They work by filtering the water to absorb oxygen molecules around them. Lungs other hand, work by sucking air in specialized bags that get less and less until the smallest supply can easily reach the capillaries. From there, the two methods of breathing oxygen molecules exchange across semi-permeable membrane in the lining of the capillary wall. The molecules then directly bind to red blood cells flowing in the blood until they reach the area of the body where oxygen is required.

In addition, most tropical fish require a water temperature of 72 degrees up to about 92 degrees. (Depending on the species of fish and if you live corals ...) The human body needs an average temperature of 98.6 degrees F, which is too hot for most species ...

If you were to somehow obtain a pool of blood and put fish in, and they were somehow able to breathe in it, the temperature required to keep them would be too weak to maintain good blood "fluid-like "consistency and he ends up a clot. Not to mention all sorts of other blood problems keeping .... Basically, unless it was kept in the body, or extracted and stored properly, it'll just rot and become a terrible mess .....

It's a little scary

And where do you think this pool of blood of man will come? It looks like pure non sense.
