The Vancouver Aquarium has come to the aid of a fish being potentially bullied because of a disability.
The rockfish underwent special surgery to have a glass eye implanted.
After the fish had its original eye removed because of cataracts, the medical team was worried it might get attacked.
The head veterinarian at the Vancouver Aquarium, Martin Haulena, affixed a special taxidermy eye to the fish while the animal was put under anesthesia.
"We do find when fish are blind from one eye and has no visible eye, other fish recognise that and will kind of attack from that side," Dr Haulena said.
The fish seems to be adapting nicely, according to Dr Haulena.
"The fish is doing really well," he said. "He is highly visible in the habitat and using his environment as would be expected."
