There?s a new trend among goldfish ? the Hitler moustache!
Fashion for a Hitler-style stash is spreading through the animal kingdom with a goldfish called George now getting in on the act.
The five-year-old who belongs to Deborah Cochrane, from Belfast, has developed a distinctive black mark above his mouth which creates an uncanny resemblance to the fishist dictator.
George and a fellow goldfish that has died were named after the art duo Gilbert and George. George follows in the pawsteps of a string of cats who became nicknamed ?Little Kitlers? for the dark patches of fur below their noses.
According to his owner a moustache is not the only thing that George has in common with the famous Nazi.
The office worker said: ?Like Hitler, George is vegetarian ? he loves his peas.
?Whenever I walk into the same room as George I notice he often has a fin raised and worry he is trying to indoctrinate me, but I am just being silly. Surely he is just waving ?hello???
Ms Cochrane said George?s color has changed a lot over the years going from brown to his current bright orange.
However, instead of trying to scare off potentially hungry cats, there may be a more scientific explanation for George?s mustache.
Vet Fiona Macdonald, Secretary of the Fish Veterinary Society, said: ?It is a black pigment that is formed as a result of the fish?s body fighting an infection.
?It might or might not be permanent.?
It?s not just goldfish that are getting into the Hitler ?stash? ?Cats are doing it:
And dogs are? getting a little carried away:
