In a plot twist straight out of a fishy horror-comedy, a goldfish in China decided “head? I don’t need no stinkin’ head!” and kept cruising its tank like a headless chicken—except underwater and way more chill. Necrotic tissue, pecking tankmates, and a brain that’s apparently optional turned this little guy into the ultimate survivor bro: swimming blind, dodging walls on autopilot, all thanks to fish anatomy’s cheat codes. It lasted two weeks before freshwater osmosis said “enough is enough,” proving even zombies have hydration issues.
