Thank's Buddha that the fish is still alive. Well done. The problem of contaminated Drinking Water exists everywhere in the World. It could be worse than having a life fish inside which is actually proof the the water is natural and not contaminated by led, arson etc.

Our water's bottled locally from spring water and my pump tests it automatically and it's top-notch clean.
