The owner of an acupuncture clinic has spent hundreds on lifesaving surgery after his beloved pet fish, Bubbles, developed a potentially deadly tumor. 

And we're loving it! Imgur user, MrJinglesTheFirst, decided to use two National Geography images as the new meme format for these original memes!

Meet Young-sung Kim, the extraordinary artist from Seoul, Korea, that is about to take your senses on a magic ride! Kim creates insane hyperrealistic pictures that look way too real for the mind to even comprehend that it's just a painting! 

His paintings, oil on canvas, look more realistic than actual photographs!

The Insider interviewed Kim on his process of what he calls, "an advanced, extreme hyperrealism that precedes any reality — more real than photographs and high-definition monitors." 

He continued describing the process and how planning each new piece involves, "collecting small animals, taking photographs, preparing a canvas, sketching, drawing, and painting with small brushes."

Kim also informed the Insider that he works 12 hours per day on creating these masterpieces.It can take anywhere from 3 to 10 months to complete one painting. 

Since Kim was a small child, he's been "collecting, observing, and studying .. I was amazed at the detail and the subtle colors that I saw in my work, just as I looked through a microscope." 

Why hyperrealism? Kim explains, "I have chosen my genre as hyperrealism because people in today's society think of animals and nature as methods of ornament, experiment, and edibility, My genre may be able to make the people think twice about the unintentionally abusive nature of their behavior towards animals and nature."

"Let's take care of small animals," Kim said. "If they cannot live, humans cannot live either."

We completely agree, Kim! Keep creating and loving life!

Humans have interrupted a lot of natural processes. Highways divide forests, and dams interrupt the migration routes for fish. But that isn't to say that we haven't found solutions to some of the problems that we created. Wildlife bridges have been built over highways allow animals to cross the highway safely. And in a recent Twitter storm, the public has rediscovered an amazing apparatus that scientists released in 2014 which helps salmon migrate. It is called the Salmon Cannon. And as you can imagine, everyone is obsessed with it. 

A kind-hearted man, Henry Kim, created a 'wheelchair' for his disabled pet goldfish and it's a beautiful reminder that all living creatures deserve a chance at life.

Kind of restores your faith in humanity, wouldn't you say?

People are prepared to spend thousands of pounds on hobbies and weird and wonderful rare things that nobody else has, so it shouldn't be surprising to hear that someone has actually paid $400,000 for A FISH! Whilst this might seem like an obscene amount of money for everyday people to spend on their hobby, the aquarium industry can become a really expensive pursuit for certain individuals that want to own rare and beautifully colorful species.

Let's take a look at six of the most expensive aquarium fish, ranked from lowest (even those are still expensive!) to highest. 

Why only cats or dogs? These guilty fish deserve to be shamed too!
