I wonder what the survival rate is for these fishes

[-] jared@mander.xyz 180 points 1 month ago

According to the links in this post It's 95%-99% survival.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 64 points 1 month ago

Who's stopping you?

MAKE your DREAMS come TRUE

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

You can yeet goldfish. Carp are stupid tough. It's the tropical fish we often keep that are kinda wimpy. Also, they're not coming from a super healthy environment (the store) to our tanks.

Have a pilots license?

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Maybe 95% survive, but how many are injured in a way that might impact their quality of life?

Since these are being dropped specifically for the purpose of being caught and killed asap, quality of life might not matter.

For your sad little goldfish, please be gentle!

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

Also, gotta think about whether 5% mortality rate is acceptable.

For an airdrop number of pond fish? Sure!

For your hobbyist number of expensive fish? Absolutely not

I wonder what the "fuck that hurt" rate is for these fishes

[-] Didros@beehaw.org 16 points 1 month ago

...that sounds to me like "survive the fall" more than "survive the week"

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 65 points 1 month ago

People ITT must've forgotten about the salmon cannon.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 18 points 1 month ago

I have never seen this and thank you for sharing it because good god I needed it.

[-] fossilesque@mander.xyz 44 points 1 month ago

I'm gonna keep that typo. 😈

[-] bulwark@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

Not sure I can let you get awat with that.

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Honestly it fits. It reads like "bombs awWAT"

From another similar post, introducing fish to a large body of water has to be done like this or else the fish don't understand or acclimate properly and die. It's a slap to the noggin like "hey wakey wakey, go find some algae to nibble on"

How do they stop the little parachutes from sliding off?

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Just make sure the strap between the legs is tight enough.

Gotta weed out the weak ones with the fall.

[-] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 month ago

So, if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is - given the quite large body of water about half a mile away from me, all downhill, I should get a giant catapult and fling some piranha.

I'll go down in history, either for the best April Fools joke ever, or if my aim is off, the best Halloween prank ever 🐟🐠🐟😁

The famous flying fish.

[-] skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

I mean, that’s just Utah… Good chance it’s not up to speed

Bombs Awash

[-] atyaz@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I'm guessing only a few need to survive
