Am I right in thinking that fish can't breathe in air? In which case it did that on one breath and fish don't have lungs to store air!

Now that is impressive!

Yeh 45 seconds is the max apparently although I don't know it is sucks in air when it hit the water?

Yes I saw that. I thought it was impressive too. It used its tail fin every so often to keep itself flying. Perhaps it forces in air past the gills in a similar way to how a ramjet works.
