A goldfish that can’t swim received a special jacket to help him float! The disabled goldfish was having a hard time until someone made him a new jacket!

The contraption and its new owner have gone viral thanks to a post from Garden Sanctuary in England’s Wolverhampton. The New York Post reported the goldfish suffers from an untreatable swim bladder disorder and would sit at the bottom of the fish tank.

“He had been living on the bottom of his tank upside down for sometime,” Stacey O’Shea, who runs the pet sanctuary from her home o of Birmingham, told Caters News. This aquatic walker is made from tiny plastic tubing and t junctions made for air conditioners and is weighed down by polystyrene for easier swimming.
