GOLDFISH CAN SWIM THANKS TO SLING
Goldfish can swim again thanks to sling Customers of a US restaurant have made a sling for 17-year-old goldfish which was struggling to swim because of illness. Regulars at the Sky Port diner, near Schenectady, New York state, came up with the idea of a creating a sling after Dick the goldfish fell ill. Patty Sherman, who owns the diner with her two sisters, Joanna Dewey and Mary Ann Parker, said Dick could barely move across the bottom of his fish tank behind the counter. A customer whose daughter is studying to be a veterinarian had his daughter research fish ailments. She reported back that Dick was likely suffering from swim bladder disease and prescribed a diet of cooked peas to be hand fed to Dick three times a day. Meanwhile, customers devised a sling made up of fishing bobbers, drinking straws, gauze and string so that he can swim again.
