How would you reckon a fish would free itself from an aquarium



No all aquariums have tops. If the outside water rises to a level above the glass, the aquatic life would be able to swim higher than the glass that once held them in.

The aquarium didn’t flood.

Don’t fall in Bayou St John, though. The escaped piranhas have been breeding like mofos.

Paradise Island’s Open Air Aquarium in the Bahamas says otherwise.

Even if the aquarium did flood, you're looking at needing how high of water to reach the top of those tanks? 20 ft? 30 ft? I don't know. It seems like a pretty ridiculous proposition.

I’m guessing the water filtration and aeration pumps lost power and the water quality dropped below survivable levels

The important ones survived.

The sea otters, penguins, leafy and weedy sea dragons, birds (macaws and raptors), and the white alligator are fine," the association said on its Web site

"Midas, the infamous 250-pound sea turtle, survived and has been coaxed into the holding area in the Gulf of Mexico Exhibit," the association said.

That's the one where a shark jumped into the slide and died.

Scooba would know for sure. If I’m not mistaken he dives over there from time to time.

The better story is the Gulfarium in Biloxi that got wiped out.
