Hernia op to save angelfish

[Anonymous]

CARLA the angelfish has a life-saving op — to cure a HERNIA.
The 10-in long creature was anaesthetised before vet Sue Thornton used a scalpel, needle and forceps to repair the hole.

Water was pumped through her body and over her gills so she could breathe during the 30-minute, £500 procedure. She has now fully recovered.

James Oliver of London Aquarium, where Carla has lived for 10 years, said: “I guess it’s a bit extreme to operate on a small tropical fish, but she’s almost family.”

Sue, who had two helpers, was called in after organs started to squeeze out Carla’s side. She said: “I’m thrilled she survived.”
