A less charitable person might have rejected, and disposed of, a goldfish that couldn't swim, but not the owner of this lucky fish. Just like a piglet in a wheelchair, this disabled goldfish looks quite content floating around in a nifty little harness that's been rigged up for its transport needs. The owner commented that while the fish looks "a little silly" in its sling, "it is better than lying at the bottom of the tank all day!" Show us a goldfish that wouldn't agree with that statement.
I don't think most people spend that much time/effort on a $2 goldfish, but still.... Trying to upload the video of my seahorse giving birth this past Sunday. It's crazy. 75 tiny seahorses all over my tank.
I've got a goldfish right now who is going to die shortly. I think I'll kill it and let the kids bury it. But I'll then exhume the corpse after the boys go to sleep and feed it to our cat. That cat has been patient. He needs a victory.
Yeah, the fish can't swim, so it sinks to the bottom of the tank and just lays there. This somehow lifts him. I'm kind of wondering if it's tied to something floating on the water's surface.... not really sure. I've seen this video on a couple of different sites. The guy puts food up to the fish's mouth to feed him, since he can't swim to the food very quickly.
My brother-in-law shot the video with his phone. And then posted to FB. Any way to post the video (or download to my computer from FB) without you all seeing my FB?
