A fish rescued from a Thai market survived six months without half its body and tail.
This golden belly barb apparently lost its tail after trying to escape a cement pond.
Watchara Chote, aged 36, from Ratchaburi in Thailand spotted the fish alive in a market tank. He nicknamed the fish "I-half'.
The barb had fractured bones in its escape bid - resulting in its tail and half its scales rotting away, reports Matichon News.
I-half died while being taken round villages by its rescuer as a weird exhibit.
Members of the public are believed to have donated money for the fish to buried in a coffin.
