Disabled goldfish gets underwater 'wheelchair'


Little Ada the telescope-eyed goldfish had a problem: she couldn't float. So her owner, YouTube user synirr, crafted her a little goldfish-style "wheelchair" - a sling that keeps her upright and, if not exactly floating, at least not sinking.

It's one of the most bizarrely adorable things we've seen. The contraption, constructed of a plastic frame, is attached to the top of the tank by a piece of fishing wire. The frame cradles Ada's little body, while the wire keeps her from sinking and allows her some movement around the tank. It's not quite as fancy as Susan Austin's diving wheelchair (it doesn't even have wheels), but it does the job.
