Yes it works. Also works on humans. If you move their legs and push them forward while holding their mouth open, they come back to life

The guy on the video sounded so sincere that I just had to see what was going to happen :lol: And, of course, there was no way it could happen. But I can't get over his sincerity. What's in this guy's water?!?

could you imagine buying fish from the LFS frozen and then bringing them home and bringing them back and putting them in the tank

Lmao. I love how sincere he sounds as well. I also like how he 'throws' the fish into the container of water. I have used a similar technique to revive partially dried fish off the floor and such (put them back into the water... 'fish' them back and forth through the water to get Oxygen moving through their gills). It has been successful before... but its hilarious with trying this on frozen fish lol.

PS. Many types of frogs can be frozen and revived!

Every insect that live in cold countries will do that (except those that live in water that does not freeze), or else they would all die during the winter and it would be the end of it.

We have a garden pool and each winter it freeze all the way to the bottom because it is too small for any water to remain unfrozen, yet each spring when I clean it it is full of nice dragon fly larveas and they are alive and healthy. They have started to establish in there a few years ago and now each year we have those huge green darner dragonfly hatching from our garden pool at night.

Of course what ever fish we forget in there is totally and absolutely doomed.

damn, imagine how much $$$ I can make selling live foods? All I would have to do is unplug my food freezer. :twised:

It works but man that fish would have a headache.:lol:

However, I have heard of this working for goldfish. They overwinter, go into stasis and "freeze". I read that a goldfish in a block of ice revived. I brought mine in for the winter. Water temp is currently 60. My wife didn't want to test the theory, she fell in love with the guys.:mrgreen:
