Watch as a devoted pet owner creates a custom floating support device to help her fish recover from a serious condition.
Angela Chaisson, a store associate from Northwood, New Hampshire, USA, shared the touching moment from her home aquarium.
The video shows her fish, Mr. Sue, fitted into a small handmade float designed to keep him upright in the water.
Mr. Sue suffers from swim bladder disorder, which previously left him stuck upside down and unable to control his movement.
After months of care, including changes in diet and water conditions, he is no longer floating at the top but still struggles to swim due to weakened muscles.
To help rebuild his strength, Angela carefully designed the device using tubing and connectors, allowing him to move and exercise safely.
The clip shows the fish gently moving and even attempting to swim, highlighting his gradual progress.
The heartwarming effort showcases the owner’s dedication as she continues helping her pet regain strength through what she calls 'fishycal therapy.'
Angela said: "This float was merely only temporary when I was able to watch him and the original prototype rubbed on his protective slime coat and led to irritation and some bleeding. I quickly altered it a few times until I found a more permanent prototype
"His wounds healed up quickly as well. I am pushing him to get stronger daily with a lot of TLC and extra hands on FISHYCAL THERAPY TRAINING."
