My life is now complete.

So british beer DOES cause brain damage, glad that's settled.

So the goldfish has swimbladder issues.
And?

/Owner might consider looking into what might HELP the fish.

The fish would be so relieved if someone just gently jabbed his underside with a fine needle. Relieved or explode that is.

This article is the epitome of "not news"

You said it...

Explains them driving on the wrong side of the road.

That picture is definitely NSFW. Now my employer likely suspects that I frequent the sleazier koi ponds for the hardcore fin to gill action. Thanks for that.

I feel slightly better about myself knowing someone else realized that too.

um.. welcome to fark?

Spider Dijon: /Owner might consider looking into what might HELP the fish.

I recommend frying it in a nice beer batter.

Article reminds me that in spite of my best research, water changes + efforts, I wish I could have helped all my goldfish survive.

Well, you get the idea.
The life of a goldfish keeper is littered with tragedy.

/They're all fertilizing the garden now.

If that goldfish comes into contact with another goldfish, kaboom.

Shall vee 69?

Just how does this uselessness find its way into the media?

Understands your predicament.

Look! A castle.

Look! A castle.

Look! A castle.

Aussie floats with its belly pointing up and its eyes staring down because of a problem with its swim bladder.

Thank god I'm not the only one!

meh, one of my 3 goldfish swam upside down for 2 years :/ depressing as hell :(

SO this. I think there's meetings for fetishes like this.

what an exciting, informative and well written article.

That's what happens when you drink like a fish.

^{/okay, okay, I'll get back to my basement}

Goldfish... the Bic Lighter of pets. Right up there with Hamsters and white mice. Except you might have to plunge the other two if you give them a bathroom burial at sea.

All I see is a tasty treat for Mr. Pink, who gets about 50 to 75 'newsworthy' treats a month on top of his already steady diet of fruit, prawns, and whatever else is handy.

Not a RickRoll... My fish thinks your fish is lunch.

I got this in a GIS for "upside down fish". i loled.

For ur bladder control problem.

/fixed it

what i came in here to say

/seriously, would not have come in here had i known

Jokes aside (+ yes, there are plenty), for those who have goldfish who have read this story + then peered at their own finned friends, please consider the following:

A balanced diet, decent water quality + some salt usually solve the probelm.

It could be constipation.
A few grains of epsom salt sprinkled right into their mouths can really help.
Give the fish sinking food i.e. not the flakey stuff.
Feed them frozen peas, minus the shell.
Their stomachs are the same size as one of their eyes, so consider that when you feed them as many die from results of overfeeding.

After dealing with my wee buds' suffering, I learned a lot.
But don't give up.

/Still miss getting my nose +/or finger nibbled by the little buggers when I dipped it in the tank.
//Nothing kinky there, I swear.

Uber points to the bar owner for naming the upside down fish "Aussie."

... now *there's* a subtle sign of the Apocalypse for you...

okami36: Look! A castle.

Look! A castle.

Look! A castle.

I LOLed.

/Still LOLing, in fact

Like any proper girl who is always at the pub she will be more often than not on her back with her legs in the air....

How much gold can a goldfish gold if a goldfish could fish gold?

Crikey, it's like a stingray barb in my heart seeing little Goldie living like that.

That's not a Goldfish,



This is a Goldfish!

More specifically, that's an oranda, a so-called 'fancy' goldfish.

/That growth thingy on its head is a 'wen', just a kind of skin tissuey growth, but at my house, we enjoy calling it a 'brain hat' as it looks like a brain-shaped hat.
//Quite squidgy if you touch it, like an ever so slightly mushy callous.
///Just sharing info you'll probably complain about never needing unless you've got an oranda.
