The 6-inch-long fish was found at the home last week, and authorities took it to The Fish Room, a shop that sells pet fish and supplies, where it was discovered that the fish was suffering from hole in the head disease, which causes lesions. Edwards said fish develop the disease by being left in"very, very poor conditions for quite some time." The fish had to survive by eating cockroaches that fell into the tank, according to Edwards.
