Fish have buoyancy

Air bladders control their depth. Convection currents don't affect them. I'm not saying Jupiter has fish. I don't even know how living gas bags could form there. But maybe they could form somewhere else and colonize someday.

        would depend on the convection rate, wouldn't it? - pwokenyaw - 6/8/2005 3:01:20 AM
        
        Yeah, if it takes a billion years to do one cycle - Gary - 6/8/2005 5:09:02 AM
