    It’s really good to know that some people are so committed to their animals. Some people would just not really care about a fish. Keep up the awesome work! :)

    Egg binding is horrible. Just about every female bird can will die from it, reptiles, and now fish? How did you know the fish was egg bound? and how would a fish die from it, fish eggs are soft, wouldn’t all of them come out?

    I think it’s awesome you took the time to save that fish, because simply letting it die and getting another one would just make the VAquarium look like you don’t care about animals…but you do! Great job!

    A water tube. Fish use their gills to remove oxygen from the water, but their gills would be impossible to use on land. Without the water tube, oxygen wouldn’t be able to reach the gills and the fish would die. The water tube helps the fish breathe, and it ensures that the surgery can take place without the medical staff having to stop and put the fish back in the water midway through a surgery.
    Neat trick by the way, VanAqua.
