Life is now going swimmingly for a goldfish in San Antonio that just got its own underwater wheelchair.

The goldfish suffers from swim bladder disease, also known as flipover, a condition that keeps it from holding itself upright.

Consequently, the fish was stuck on the bottom of its aquarium. That is, until an aquarium shop employee known only as Derek figured out a solution, according to BuzzFeed.

Derek wrapped tiny tubing around the goldfish and then added valves underneath to prop it up like it was in a chair. Then a chunk of styrofoam was added on top to give some lift.
