If there is a dead fish, stuck in a tube full of water, would it move to the aquarium?
Imagine this: there are two fish tanks, which are connected to each other by a tube. The tube is completely filled with water and the fish are able to swim freely from one tank to the other via the water-filled tube. Now, imagine that the tube is elevated and is actually at greater height than both of the two tanks. My question is whether or not, if a fish dies in the middle of the tube, it will remain in the middle of the tube or it will natrually move towards one of the two tanks. This is of course granted that this is the type of fish that floats when it is dead.
No it would stay where it is at. The assumptions made are that the fish is in the tube when it is elevated and it stays in the tube after it is elevated and the tube remains level. This being said all the water would drain out of the tube and the fish would just lay there on the bottom of the tube and rot. If the tube was not level then the fish would drain out with the water towards the lower end of the tube.
