They don't. I have watched, helplessly, as overfed fish bloated up like a pufferfish and died a slow, probably painful death. I compared it to watching one of our goats bloat up in seconds, hours after getting into the grain bin illicitly, scream in agonizing pain, and fall over dead! I've endured my own episodes of gas and felt like I was dying, so I am empathetic to ANY creature that cannot expends the waste gases that can be excruciating and debilitating.
