Henry Kim owns 20 goldfish across three fish tanks in his house and is passionate regarding their well-being.

He was concerned when he noticed his fish start to float upside-down, something that can be caused by swim bladder.

All fish have a swim bladder, which helps them stay upright in water.

When this fails they tend to lose the ability to stay upright, floating to the top or base of the tank, eventually dying.

Identified to help his fishy friends, Kim chose to locate a solution to their disability.

After much research online, he fashioned what he calls a “wheelchair”, which helps fish remain upright and afloat despite their health problems.
