Well, if water is technically air for them, then do they hop out of the ocean and get air some if they get "thirsty"? How does that work?

This is going into my big word document of forum quotes.

I hope for your sake that this was brilliant trolling and not a serious question.

I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind-and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression..."

Maybe.
I think the fish don't breathe the water. They get the oxygen out of it. So maybe they drink water when they're thirsty? :P
YEAH

Short answer: They don't breathe water, they just take the limited amount of O2 in it out. Depending on whether or not they're salt or fresh water fish, they also have active transport to remove/add salt from/to the water in order to maintain proper osmotic balance.

You don't want the long answer.

Some larger freshwater fish (arapaimas and maybe arowanas) can't always get enough oxygen out of the water, and they take breaths of air from the surface.

So those of you who were wondering if they took breaths of air are partially right.

You mean you didn't see some of his threads in Serious Dicsussion?  I thought that was where you posted most.
