Would have been a lot more entertaining if the Gourami in question was an actual Chocolate Gourami! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate_gourami)

LOL! Seiously, isn't "The Sun" a tabloid newspaper? Might not be true, but humorous anyway.

I don't know if they fed it a strictly Kit-Kat diet (seems kinda expensive), but I've caught fish before on candy like gummy worms and tootsie rolls in my younger, lots more free time days...

Sure does seem expensive. Candy must be cheaper in the UK. Makes you wonder what kind of idiot would feed his pet fish candy?

Strange. Poor fish! I know of someone who feeds his 18" Tilapia, in a 100 gal tank, only dry dog and cat food. Ever hear of this?

I would think only very hardy species would survive long term on a poor diet of candy, or pet food. These are probably the same types of people who only do water changes when the tank starts stinking as well.

On a small neighborhood lake I used to fish on, I'd often watch as a lady would fill her outdoor cats' bowls on the dock, then throw one scoop out onto the water. Within minutes the water was boiling with sunfish and bass trying to get at that meow mix... and my Pop-R :)
