Backwards goldfish

4 months ago 16th Aug 13:15

A goldfish in a UK pub swims its way through life upside down.

The goldfish started swimming the wrong way round shortly after being bought by landlord Liam Matthews four years ago. The goldfish has been christened 'Aussie' - referring to Australia, or 'down under' as it is known in Britain.

Liam, who runs the Globe Inn in Devon, South England, said: "She swims quite fast. Everyone around here knows about her - she's a bit of a legend."

Despite doing everything - including eating - the wrong way up, Aussie is fit and healthy. Scientists believe a problem with the fish's swim bladder could have caused the problem, but say it won't affect the fish's livelihood.
