I think the fishes prefer Di-Tritium oxyde instead of stinking water,
they are really glowing from pure joy...

PFCs was I use T2O instead of H2O
 

If he had suggested using perfluorocarbons, then he might have some
credibility. Actually it's an interesting question. What happens when
you put a fish in PFCs? If we can breath this liquid in our lungs, then
what effect would it have on fish? I think the O2 level in perflubron
can be 3 times normal atmosphere, which would make it many times more O2
concentrated than a fish would ever experience in water.

An obvious application would be transport. A fish could be put into a
tiny sleeve with just enough liquid to keep it wet. The liquid would be
a PFC/Ammo-lock/sedative recipe. An insulated reinforced envelope would
be all you need to ship a small fish anywhere in the world. You heard it
here first on rec.aquaria.freshwater.misc, and in case such a thing is
possible, the idea is copyright NetMax 2004 ;~)

It's in clinical trials for humans. Kewl !

I think it would be much too expensive to use for shipping fish, though.

Regarding expense, perhaps, but if it only took a few ounces of the
liquid, and if it was re-usable.... Another application (though it's
probably not water soluble) is during a power failure, and all your fish
are gasping at the surface (spray in a bit of PFCs). I wonder how it's
recharged (they mention 'a high FIO2 to maintain high oxygen
concentrations within the fluid', so re-charging might be a possibility).
It can hold up to 20 times more O2 than atmospheric, and what % O2 does
water hold? That will pack quite an O2 punch.

I'm just enjoying the speculation ;~) Isn't that how sci-fi stories are
written. You take a scientific possibility and expand it in time to
include seemingly reasonably commercial applications. If I were to
continue down those lines, then we could have PFC aquariums, using
filters which removed every DOC trace while re-charging the O2 levels.
The fish would be evolved to that particular environment, and there would
be no danger of contaminating local waterways as they would not survive
in water (having devolved the gills to almost nothing). The
hybridization potentials and stocking capabilities would be ...
interesting.

Also consider that PFC has similar CO2 capability and you would have
plant growth which would make CO2 charged tanks look barren (that one I
have more trouble with ;~) It's maybe a good thing I'm more of a
naturalist myself :o)

For some reason I am on my chemistry horse today.

Using T2O wouldn't work, even though it is water. All of the
biological systems on earth are designed to waste *no* energy. In T2O,
the bond strength between the T and O would be slightly higher. Higher
enough to ensure that all of the bacteria, algea, plants, fish, etc...
that normally use water would not be able to process it.

Huh? Why would the bond strength be higher for tritium than for hydrogen?
From what I remember from my high-school chemistry, isotopes are chemically
indistinguishable from each other. I was told that they can be distinguished
only
by physcial means, such as a separating them in a centrifuge.

Cheers,

Michi.

Tritium is heavier, so as a result, the bond strength is slightly higher
and the bond distance is slightly shorter. Chemically it is completely
indistinguishable, and reacts in exactly the same way, however the physical
properties are slightly different. These physical properties result in some
slight differences in reaction rates.

Ah, I didn't know that -- I live and learn :-)
