Have you ever noticed your fish seem twice the size when they are out of the water?

I was surprised how much bigger one fish was out of water than he appeared in the tank.
and that is why Bubba ended up in my freezer, should anybody ask What just fell out on top of their foot.

I had a Danio jump out the other night and it was a lot bigger then I thought it was. I can't imagine how big my Syn really is out of the tank, based upon the Danios difference

I remember having a 13 inch midas. When i took it out of the water I was in awe. The thickness is something I would have never guessed while he was in the tank.

Perhaps the glass and water minimizes the perception of depth or thickness of the animal.

Lol. don't worry, he's in a zip loc bag. Bubba was my husbands favorite fish & died while he was out of town. I wanted him to appreciate the Full impact of his size Out of the 180G tank.
well Bubba's still in there, and what can I say....... things fall out the freezer sometimes when we're rummaging around.
My 19 yr old grand daughter laughs so hard at me.
but he is WAY bigger than he appeared! it's true.
