Video: Disabled goldfish given a harness to help it stay afloat

The goldfish in its harness

A goldfish with buoyancy problems has been given a new lease of life by her owner, with the help of a floating aid.

The device is a small harness allowing her to swim around the tank with the other fish, rather than lying on the bottom floundering.

The owner of the goldfish wrote on YouTube: "My disabled goldfish scooting around in her newly redesigned sling.

"She has trouble maintaining buoyancy on her own. She looks a little silly, but it is better than lying at the bottom of the tank all day!"
