Why don't you ever let the fish out so I can play with them?

Suzi in Applecreek, The reason we don't let the fish out so you can play with them is, quite simply, that fish can't breathe or survive outside of water. I know this may sound complicated, but fish do not have the proper lungs to allow them to breathe outside of water. Yep, this is a new scientific discovery that was just realized last Tuesday, so it's understandable that you wouldn't know it yet. So until you develop gills that allow you to breathe under water, you will have to continue to simply watch the fish in their tank and dream of the day when you and they will be able to process O2 in the same manner.
