Inside A Fish Hospital. Yes, A Fish Hospital

Patit Paban Halder runs a hospital solely for fish in Chandannagore, India. Basically, he has 32 aquariums in his home, and he treats ailing fish with his wife and son.

The fish he treats are ornamental—fancy ones for aquariums—so I guess there are a lot of people with exotic fish around Chandannagore. But man, how surreal is that photo of the goldfish receiving an injection? Normally when a goldfish gets sick the prescription is one dose of going down the toilet.

    Just wondering how does he feed his wife and son to the fish?

      He probably put his wife and son into a vegetable juicer and injects the juice into the fish.
