“Faced with a goldfish that could not swim properly, a Texas aquarium worker has been hailed as a hero after fashioning a tiny ‘wheelchair’ for the suffering pet.
The contraption, reports The Telegraph online, came to the public’s attention after YouTuber Taylor Dean shared an image of it on Twitter. ‘A customer brought in a goldfish with a permanent bladder disorder, so I made him a custom wheelchair,’ Derek...texted to Dean.
The fish had bladder issues that 'prevented it from holding itself upright, & made it permanently stuck at the bottom of its tank.’ Derek ... came up with the wheelchair by wrapping airline tubing around the fish & attaching valves, 'which acted as a 'chair’ to prop him up,’ he explained.
According to the Kansas City Star, the fish is now 'getting along swimmingly’.”
