How long can Koi live out of water?

Question

No , I'm not trying to hurt the fish or anything sick like that...

I'm just pondering on how long that can live out of water.

Answer 1

a few hours  

Answer 2

Well the best way to find out is to do it. But if your a fish lover you prob wont want to do this to a fish its not cool. Unless you write a paper about it afterwards and publish it, then its called sience. : )  Good luck with that  

Answer 3

I'm guessing not long .Probably about 5 seconds

Answer 4

Several hours, though it can cause quite a bit of damage when they are out. Fish can be out overnight and be found dried on the floor and yet still have enough life in them to bounce back when you put them in water. Lucky that koi aren't known for being jumpers, but some fish species are very good escape artists.

Answer 5

2 to 5 mins its already dried up
