George the goldfish just had brain surgeryA little goldfish just underwent a big operation. The pipsqueak, named George, had a life-threatening tumor removed from his head last week at the Lort Smith Animal Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. 

George is currently recovering at home in his pond in Melbourne after the tricky one-hour surgery, which went "swimmingly," according to the hospital's Facebook page.

The tumor had been slowly developing over the past year, something that seemed to affect 10-year-old George's behavior.
