The Kit KAT Fish

The Kit Katfish


Aquarium wean Gary off a choccy-only diet


Give it a break ... gourami









By MATT WILKINSON









A CHOCOHOLIC fish is being weaned off a diet of KIT KATS after outgrowing its tank.


Aquarium staff were baffled when the 8.8lb giant gourami called Gary rejected normal food after being donated to them.



Then the previous owners of the exotic Asian freshwater fish admitted feeding it only with the chocolate-covered wafers.



Experts at the Sea Life London Aquarium had to put crushed Kit Kat pieces inside grapes and banana slices to tempt the 15.7in-long fish on to a normal diet.



Gary's handler Rebecca Carter said: "I've never heard of a fish being fed chocolate, let alone brought up entirely on the stuff."



Gouramis are a delicacy in Indonesia. Rebecca added: "Gary doesn't appear to have suffered ill effects. Most fish wouldn't be able to survive on Kit Kats but gouramis are very hardy."

Gary, thought to be seven to ten years old, is not the only Aquarium fish to have picked up odd habits from previous owners. Catfish Ed likes to be stroked on the head as staff feed it by hand.

Now that is awesome! Im envious of that diet!

Thats cool!I miss my giant Gourami!Mine would eat anything I put in the tank!

I thought of you and yours when I read this. Funny stuff.

WOW that is weird!

That is pretty amazing when you think that even dogs and cats can get sick if they eat choc. lol.

wow that is pretty cool! lol

Cool, I wonder if he had let them pet him like catfish ed does would he still let them pet him after they took his chocolate away. lol

I would think that would get pretty expensive after awhile.

Thats funny.

I could pet my Giant Gourami when I had him!I fed mine carrots and apples and oranges!Not to mention he would eat my finger if I let him!
