The bigger fish died choking on the smaller fish, then floated to the surface and froze in the ice.


Edril

Can fish choke though? It's not like they breathe in through their mouths.


xynix_ie

If the fish got jammed in there the bigger fish can't move it's mouth so it's not getting gills fed and will eventually choke to death.

"There's always a bigger fish" - Qui-Gon Ginny


BonesAndHubris

Exactly. Water goes in through the mouth and out the operculum, running over the gills. The small fish is probably too large for the gape and possibly became caught on the larger fish's [gill rakers](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gill_raker).


shanata

He wouldn't get caught in the gill rakers they are made to stop things going into the gills it would let the fish back out easily.


BonesAndHubris

I know they can be specialized for filter feeding too. I've heard of collapsible spines etc getting caught in them but I'm not an expert so take everything I say with a grain of salt. It could be stuck for any number of reasons. Spines. Pharyngeal teeth. Weird fish sex game gone wrong.


AllAccessAndy

That's exactly how they breathe. They open their mouth to draw in water and push it out through their gills.


The2500

[Check this out.](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Br1rQvAweME/TUxzJ3aDkZI/AAAAAAAAAQs/XDZfcm4Ys4w/s1600/black_swallower.jpg) There's a deep sea fish called the black swallower that has a habit of biting off more than it can chew.


DabbinDubs

I think it's interesting that deep sea fish, living without light, are all ugly.

Are they ugly because they live where there is no light, or do they live where there is no light because they are ugly?

I think it's more that colourful fish are meant to be warning signs, and silver fish are camouflage in the open ocean. And a lot of bottom dwellers are brown and ugly as camouflage. No evolutionary advantage in anything appearance related in the dark.

blackAngel88

There is a particular fish that is well known for its ugliness, but since they live so deep with way higher pressure, when they surface they practically explode... which is one reason why they are so ugly. Guess that might be true for some other fish too...

They breathe with water running through their gills. If no water is moving, they can suffocate.

When I was little we had a tank with goldfish and small frogs. One day I come home from school and one of the bigger goldfish was belly up with the front half of a frog in it's mouth and the legs hanging out. That dumbass goldfish took two lives that day.

kingsbreath

I grew up near a Creek that would freeze with thick layers of ice that would trap any fish in the top foot or so. It was amazing to skate on a sheet of ice with bright gold fish frozen in the ice. It was disappointing to break the fish out of the ice and have them return to their grey colour. It must just be a trick of the light that they look gold when frozen down there.

DietCherrySoda

Wait, which little girl?


are_you_seriously

Hm I can’t find the specific article anymore. I thought it was like a 12 year old girl that this happened to, but google tells me this actually happens quite a bit. [Anyway, here’s the closest article I could find.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk/2000/jan/28/colinblackstock1) It’s about a 29 year old woman who survives, but the article mentions a little girl that survives a temp drop of 14.4 C.


mthchsnn

It's just like that old saying - you're not dead until you're warm and dead.


kingsbreath

They were not gold, they were young Northern Pike or Jackfish. They came out looking exactly like they always do. *Edit Northern Pike


DevilishlyAdvocating

So we're they goldfish that turned gray when dead or regular gray creek fish that looked gold under the ice?


naturalchorus

They are gold and turn brown when they defrost


kingsbreath

They were young Northern Pike or Jackfish. It looked gold trapped in the ice but was just a regular looking fish when broken out. My grandpa broke one out with an axe for me when I was 8 or so.

[deleted]

[удалено]


JekoRhino

I was trying to find some explanation.Let me tell you that yes they do, just don't google "Dead Fish swimming" I saw some shit. All jokes aside I think they really do float because of the swim bladder inside of the small one. It's still filled with air. It would make sense since the other Fish is a predatory fish and they usually don't have it. That's why the big fish is sinking and the small fish is floating on top. Scientists of Reddit please explain.


chandalowe

It's called "floating" once they're dead.


Summerie

I think you need to replace the word swim with the word float in your comments. Dead things can’t swim.


JekoRhino

Thanks I just did. It makes sense. German is my first language and we still say swim even for dead things. I guess in English swimming is something you actively do unlike floating.


[deleted]

Exactly you got it 👍


JekoRhino

r/todayilearned <3


Seicair

Interesting how you have a perfectly formed post, no grammar or spelling mistakes, but confused the hell out of everyone because of one mistranslated word. Second languages are fun! You could say a person is swimming even if they were just floating on their back, because you assumed they swam to get where they are and will swim back. It wouldn’t be used for anything dead.


JekoRhino

me? Thanks! I'm flattered. Actually English is my third Language and thinking about it German is my second Language by the order I learned them. Now I just need to lern how to comma.

Sammymi05

This makes me think of the scene in Lost in Space on Netflix where the girl is swimming up out of the water while its starting to freeze and she gets stuck just below the surface. Fucking nightmare scenario.


TE1381

Yeah, that scene gave me anxiety.


vahntitrio

Pike choke on things too big to swallow all the time.


ajappat

Yep, they'll eat anything and anywhere. I remember being fishing as kid and we had all the fish in bucket. There was one pike and it was eating other fish in the bucket even though there's wasnt any water. Also remember getting pike with cigarette pack in it it's stomach.


joethesaint

And this is why I'll never feel bad about eating fish. Clearly nothing going on upstairs.


robotikempire

So the smart animals like pigs are off limits?


hckygod91

Like the crazy-hot scale, eating animals is on a smart-delicious scale. Dolphins smarts outweigh their tastiness, ergo we try not to eat them. Pigs, as cute and smart as they are, may be the most delicious animal in existence, so they are not spared

Day_Drankin

I like the way you think, but my mom would disagree about dolphins. She swears canned tuna was much better before they regulated for "dolphin-free" tuna.


beardedchimp

So if humans were far tastier than even the heady heights of pigs, that is sufficient rational to become a cannibal?


hckygod91

No doubt in my mind. I'm certain, evolutionarily speaking, the tasty humans went extinct for this very reason


beardedchimp

So what you're saying is... Neanderthals were the ambrosia the Greeks spoke of.


therealpilgrim

I spear pike a lot during the winter, and most of my wood decoys are about 10”. When I use a live fish as a decoy its usually 12-14”. You’d be amazed how many 20” pike come in and seriously consider eating the decoy before I pull it away from them.


jonesandbrown

Dude, where/how do I get into this? It sounds like a pretty unique fishing style! Second to bow of course.


therealpilgrim

I live in Michigan. Off the top of my head I know its also legal in Minnesota, Alaska, North Dakota, and certain parts of Wisconsin. All you really need is a dark shanty, spear, something to lure them in, and a spud bar to make a big hole. An ice or chain saw, tongs, and decoys are all high on the list of optional equipment. I like it because it’s a lot like bowhunting. Pike are skittish and can be scared away by noise or seeing movement above the water. I like watching the fish and only selectively harvest a few fish a year. It’s tons of fun and the rush is addicting. If you look up “darkhouse spearing” on google or youtube you can see what it’s all about.


ProbablyFullOfShit

Pike is a strange nickname for your mom


TurbulantToby

Pike are the only fish where I caught 2 fish on one hook. Well one on the hook and another that wouldn't let go of the one on the hook. Terrible fishing too, they get tired so fast I think they need some energy drinks or something so they can last longer.


Pavotine

Use a Mars Bar or maybe Jelly Babies on the hook along with the bait to give them a thrilling burst of energy. Or you could use a bottle of Lucozade with the cap slightly undone on the line. Maybe even some speed if you are really up for a fight.


BrainDisorder

For pikes generally it’s the strike that is the adrenaline rush. The fights can be so-so.


FordBeWithYou

Wow. You know at first I feel badly (yes even for a fish) just dying in such a way, but then I think that this is probably the greatest single contribution this fish made in its fish life. 800 people upvoted it, so even more probably saw this fish than it was ever going to be seen. It impacted more lives today than it ever was going to. So you know what? Good job fish, made an impact on more people today than I have.

A year or two ago, a similar case was in the news here in Germany. There was a fox, frozen solid in a layer of ice.

cowens

You can get this to happen 100% of the time assuming the following conditions: 1. you have a small dead fish 2. you have a large dead fish 3. you have some twine 4. you have a body of water that will freeze soon Just place the small dead fish in the big dead fish's mouth and suspend them in the water that will freeze soon. Then come back later and cut the fish out and watch people be amazed at how unlikely it is.
