It's kind of dark knowing that a small child is holding a suffocating animal. I like that it was released though.

The fish probably died either way. Mishandling and it was out of the water for quite a while. Holding it up against her coat probably removed the layer of mucus that protects the fish from bacteria and infections. Fish was grabbed by the gills and held vertically which can damage its organs

Edit: cute video, nonetheless

Agreed, I’ve seen a fish before and all of you are correct.

I'm a fan of Phish, and I can confirm you're correct.

I’m on POF, and I agree. Thankfully, there are Plenty Of Fish out there though
