Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming

to you from the QI offices in Covert Garden.

My name is Dan Schreiber and I'm sitting here with Anich Zitsky, Andrew Hunter Murray,

James Harkin and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite

facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go. Starting with you,

Chazinsky. My fact is we, because then Singapore pet fish have plastic surgeons.

is the Arawana fish is a very prized fish as a pet in China and in other Asian countries

eyelids raised. They've got droopy eyelids. So go into their eyelids and he'll take some of
