George the goldfish survives brain surgery


SYDNEY: A goldfish called George was on the mend in Australia Tuesday after undergoing "high-risk" brain surgery in an operation the vet described as "fiddly". 

The 10-year-old fish had a tumour protruding from its head, leaving his owner with two options: to have it operated on or have the fish put to sleep.
