Quirky World ... Goldfish doped to the gills for brain op

BRAIN OP

George, whose owner lives in Melbourne, was put under general anaesthetic for the $200 (€156) procedure, the BBC reports.

Dr Tristan Rich, who carried out the operation, told Melbourne’s 3AW radio station that the fish was now “up and about and swimming around”. Vets say the 10-year-old fish is now expected to live for another 20 years.
