Einstein the Goldfish gets float to help him swim

  • 5 years ago
A fish left unable to swim is being kept afloat - after being fitted with a special fish-friendly life jacket. Einstein the Fantail Goldfish lost the use of his fins when he developed swim bladder which affects his buoyancy. He was swimming upside down in the tank until owner Leighton Naylor designed a special life jacket using recycled tubing. Einstein, named after his ability to learn tricks, had been learning 'fish football' before he developed problems with the air pockets in his back.
