Poor goldfish! I'm sorry to hear about this. He might be dying. Let him die naturally and bury him in the backyard. Don't flush him while he's still alive, it gives me the heebie jeevies plus it's cruel.

Answer 6

No I dont think so.. ur goldfish might be having a diesease if u want u could save ur goldfish or else ignore it and it will die.

Ur goldfish is having a swimbladder diesease a very complicated diesease. But it can be cured. There are 2 ways. 1. Feed ur goldfish boiled peas without the skin try to feed him the peas it will help the goldfish to recover. Dont feed him any other food but only the peas twice a day. 2. If ur goldfish isnt eating the peas try not to give him any food for 3 days not even peas this will also help him to recover.

PS: Try the method ur goldfish will surely recover. Swimbladder dieasease is often caused by air trapped in its swimbladder, feed ur other goldfish soaked food instead of dry which will prevent swimbladder in ur other goldfish or fish. For more information search the internet on swimbladder dieasease in goldfish.
