Disabled fish given special lifejacket to help him swim

A goldfish left unable to swim thanks to an incurable disease has been given a special lifejacket that has helped him swim the right way up.

The unfortunate fish found himself living upside down at the bottom of his tank after a bout of swim bladder - a disorder which affects buoyancy - was found to be untreatable.

His family sought help from nearby The Garden Sanctuary in Wolverhampton, which set about making the goldfish a special lifejacket using tiny plastic tubing and t-junctions normally used for air conditioning filters before adding polystyrene to help weigh him down.
