need a fish doctor quick!

I'm baby sitting this goldfish while it' owner is in Mexico. I'm told that it swims like this all the time and that it is normal for this kind of fish. To me...It looks drunk or sick...Not normal. Anybody familiar with this kind of fish? Is this fish swimming in normal mode? I can't watch the damned thing as it upsets me.

Re: need a fish doctor quick!

whoa.. I have no idea... never seen a fish swim like that before

it's either having a seizure or it's extremely happy about something

If I had blue and yellow carpet in my living room, I'd also be incoherently rolling on the floor like that.

I think its inner ear has some malfunction. Looks like over 0.1% alcohol in the blood stream. Did you check the label on the food container?

..just flush it and put a "little nemo" toy in there.. theyell never know the difference, and you can finally sleep soundly. :P

That's a species of the rare "Asian-Bugeyed-Summersault" fish. You should be so lucky. Sell it on eBay.

Re: need a fish doctor quick!

that is a little disturbing. I have had fish before and have seen the same crazy-eyed, mad-man, jerky mannerisms.

I don't think we ever did anything effective to alleviate the fish discomfort, though.

maybe the water needs changing?

maybe it is feeling a little cramped? perhaps you could let it go for a long, tiring swim in the bathtub?

I don't know....I think it's f**cked...What can you do, It's normal.
As i was having my morning bath though, I couldn't help but marvel at the great technology we have...I mean it took no more than ten minutes to tape that poor thing, capture it, compress it , upload and post it. That is way too cool.

Sorry mino, obviously it just doesn't like you and it's effecting the little bugger health - One of you has to leave.
 
Re: need a fish doctor quick!

hmm, I have a medical background and its obvious to me it has some advanced form of aquatic pink eye. Look at the swollen lids. Its so itchy it is scraping its eyes on the rocks! ;)

Do you want me to perform an excorsim? That's strange, maybe it's into gymnastics. I know nothing about fish except for my xgirlfriend smells like one.

You are a funny guy mr. Spider :D
 
Re: need a fish doctor quick!

Poor thing. I feel bad for it. :'(

Ok, you have 2 options - 1) You can create a sitcom moment in which the pet nanny replaces the original pet with a new one (always a comedic gem)  ...or 2) You can tell the truth and your friends will always resent you.

Choose #1 and make a short movie about it.

It's always best to start with "Your fish is up on the roof, and we can't get him down..."
