Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Pet fish playing a video game in Japan managed to log on to the Nintendo Switch store, change their owner’s avatar, set up a Pay Pal account and rack up a credit card bill.

And it was all seemingly livestreamed, in real time, on the internet.

9. Apparently this guy has his fish doing all sorts of online things on a YouTube channel.

But rather funny, nonetheless.
