His owner, warehouse worker Leighton Naylor, was so distressed by the sight of his struggling pet, he knew he had to take matters into his own hands.
“He’s always been a fighter so when he sunk to the bottom one day and couldn’t get back up again it was a very sorry sight.
“It broke my heart to see him so helpless. He looked so depressed,” said the 32-year-old from Blackpool.
He made Einstein a “floating frame” from recycled tubing, which fits perfectly over the fish’s two-inch long body.
