Surgery for museum's 'ugly' fish

A fish at a Scottish museum has undergone surgery after visitors complained it was too ugly.

A harmless but unsightly growth was removed from the goldfish, which was on show at the Royal Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.

The operation was paid for using coins thrown into the fish pond at the popular visitor attraction.

A spokeswoman for the museum would not say how many complaints had been made about the fish.

Scientists decided to remove the unsightly growth after people expressed concern.

The lump, which did not seem to distress the fish in any way, was removed along with one of its eyes.





are you being serious???

I'll explain it for you Katie.  People complained because the fish was a bit ugly.  So they butchered it to make it look nicer.  Totally reasonable, I think.

I presume the eye was rendered useless by the growth?

There was me thinking that the former lead singer of Marillion had had some kind of op.

Two thoughts:


1. I'd like to see before and after shots of the fish in question.  I'm a curious guy, what can I say.


2. Maybe this will spawn a bunch of "Extreme Makeover" spin-offs: Extreme Makeover, Pet Edition!


And what's the deal with a goldfish at a museum?  Is the fish somehow historically significant?


"Oh yes, this goldfish is the direct decendent of Fishy-fish Wallace, noble mascot of the Scottish We-Refuse-to-Wear-Trousers Revolution of 1608 ... "
