LONDON – An exotic Asian fish fed exclusively on Kit Kat chocolate wafers has been put on a fruit-based diet by his new owners at London’s Sea Life Aquarium.
“Gary” the giant gourami, a species of freshwater fish native to parts of South East Asia where it is farmed for food, is 40cm long and weighs 4kg.
The fish’s refusal to eat mystified staff at the aquarium until they discovered that its previous owners fed it entirely on Kit Kats.
“I have never heard of a fish being fed chocolate, let alone being brought up entirely on the stuff,” Rebecca Carter, the fish’s handler said.
