4-8 minutes Depends on the fish, but the answer above is generally correct. The shorter time, the better. Once their gills and skin begin to dry out, they can sustain damage that will eventually be fatal even if they seem OK when you put them back in the water. Lungfish, on the other hand, can live out of water for an indefinite period as long as their skins are kept moist.
