A 32-year-old man, from Seoul, South Korea has built a ‘wheelchair’ device for his disabled goldfish.
Fashion designer Henry Kim has more than 20 goldfish in three different tanks in his house in Seoul, South Korea.
After losing many of his goldfish due to an ailment known as swim bladder disorder which makes them float upside down or sink to the bottom of their bowl, Henry decided to create a ‘wheelchair’ device to help his goldfish stay afloat.
Henry said: “Swim bladder disorder can be caused by many reasons such as overeating or unclean waters. I normally find it in fish that have been imported to Korea from Thailand or China.”
“Fish with this issue only live a couple of months, but thanks to this device, one of my fish has lived to be five months old.”
“My wheelchair helps them stay afloat and have a longer life.”
When this story went viral, everyone praised Henry for his kindness. One user wrote: ‘Awwwww! That’s so sweet! I had a goldfish that passed away from swim bladder problems. It’s nice to see this little guy gets a second chance!’
Another said: ‘Aww that’s so sweet! I love animals and I hate when people say they love animals but really they just like cats and dogs. So I love it when other animals are helped and loved. Especially fish’.
One user said: ‘Great! Very nice person’ while another added: ‘Love love A truly caring person’.
‘That is so adorable! The goldfish with the wheelchair is adorable too!’ one user wrote.
‘How unusual to me, but then I am not familiar with goldfish health issues. Pretty good of him to care for his fish to make sure that it can have a good quality of life, living with this device must be amazing for this fish’ another added.
Henry is truly a caring person and we really appreciate his kindness.
