OMGz WTH???
We went to the Trout Hatchery today in Castalia Ohio.
They have a naturally occuring "Blue Hole" that provies oxygen free water at a steady 50.5 degrees. Perfect for raising Trout and Steel Head.
We were looking at them and feeding the beasts... But there was this "orange blob" which turned out to be an Albino Trout.
Didnt know they exist.

Ya the water is oxygen free as it comes from an aquifer 600' below the surface. Its also high in nitrogen.

After the hole its about 25' in they have a big pump with two large pipes pointing down. Pipes are 6" diameter probably. To put air in the water.

The very concept of "Oxygen Free Water" is well.... Impossible...

H20 = Two Hydrogen Atoms bonded to one Oxygen Atom...

I think you mean this water has no disolved oxygen in it. lol

Obviously.

I didnt think I would have to get all scientific about this...

The water will not sustain fish as is.

yea I'm just being a smart ass...

Makes sense... though. Still when I saw the "Oxygen-Free" water... I was like...

Targeting system activated... I'm locked on... awaiting order to fire.... Fire!
