What does it mean when your goldfish starts to swim upside down2007-11-24 23:41:31

My goldfish, Lightning, has started to swim upside down all the time instead of right side up. What does this mean?

Answers:

Probably a swim bladder problem. These problems aren't always fatal!

Sometimes a goldfish's buoyancy is messed up from being constipated. Feed him two cooked then peeled peas a day until the problem improves. Peas are a natural laxative for your fish. Don't forget to remove any uneaten pea from the tank after 5 minutes so as to avoid fouling up the water.

I've also heard that green beans work too, but I'm not sure how they should be prepared before given to your fish.


Something to do with its swim bladder. You can et some medicine for this, I think, at your local pet shop.
lack of oxygen in the water
infection or parasites.
swim bladder disease. prepare for funeral.
He's bored and is trying to learn new tricks. He's showing off to you. He's daring you. He's saying to you, "look what I can do. Bet you can't do this."

Are you going to let a goldfish show you up?!?


maybe that's what your fish see on us, a world up-side down to stop it from getting crazy. maybe we should learn from it, it found a cure for it's deppression.
It means and i hate to say it but it will probably die soon. Goldfish have a short live span.
usually it means that you've fed it too much or too often. Goldfish just keep on eating, rather than stopping when they're full and because their stomachs get so big it displaces their swim bladder. It fairly likey that Lightning isn't going to be with you for too much longer sorry to say.
i think it means its dead.
problems with swim bladder see fish supplier
Lightning's air bladder has malfunctioned. He may not live long.
It's about to kick the bucket. Give it fresh water (same temp) and maybe it will recover.
this probably means that he is going to pass away.I'm very sorry

you can try adding salt to his water, this happened to one of my goldfish and it worked for a few days but then he passed away.


swimming bladder problem and i had this problem before but i solved it by soaking the flakes or pellets in water first before putting it in the tank and make sure the food sinks by stirring the flakes but for the pellets squish it.
it meaan thwt you have feed the poor fish to much so stop feedind for a few days .and feed as much that the fish can eat in 1 -2 minutes no more .its stomach is full of food and is turning it upsid down
