I'm glad to see you are still continuing with these fish(y) posts
:)

btw, you mention they are 95% water and I imagine the first response from anyone reading that is 'no wonder they are like bubbles and we can see through them'.

However, the question to ask then is: what percentage of water are you?

Quote:

According to Dr. Jeffrey Utz, Neuroscience, pediatrics, Allegheny University, different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of water. Babies have the most, being born at about 78%. By one year of age, that amount drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue. In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than men, so they have about 55% of their bodies made of water

I also found interesting the amount of water required daily is:

Generally, an adult male needs about 3 liters (3.2 quarts) per day while an adult female needs about 2.2 liters (2.3 quarts) per day

Maybe now I will go to your other account... :)
