Now I hope this is in the right place, but anyway. check it out ! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4900048/upside-down-fish-gets-life-jacket.html the owner says the goldfish seems to be fine. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Narny105 1,992 Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) It's a very creative and thoughtful idea, but unfortunately the surface of the fish is not meant to have something continually in contact with it, and this ruins the integrity of the slime coat. Unfortunately the best long term method for chronic swim bladder issues is commonly euthanasia But that beig said, I love reading stories like that. The creativity and thought for their fishy pets is extraordinary Someone posted the exact same thing yesterday or the day before. I'll try and find the thread Edited April 25, 2013 by Narny105 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
