It could be just having fun swimming or it could be a sickness, but without more information on whether the fish's body displays any symptoms if sickness such as white spots or patches or red streaks or patches, sores, swelling, little parasites attached to the body, etc., it's hard to say for certain.

at the starting up what variety of fish is it...? It sounds like your fish may be constipated and has swim bladder ailment. even if it truly is a goldfish then there is an particularly very reliable threat that that is the case. usually, even as fish eat too a lot, they can get plugged up and it pushes hostile to the bladder of air they have of their stomachs. This ends up in them swimming sideways and the incorrect way up. do exactly not feed your fish for 2-3 days. Then, after that aspect of fasting, feed him peeled and boiled peas (chopped up in case your fish is truly small.) in case your fish would not get more suitable positive after this (or maybe after the fasting) then i actually do not understand what it will be except that. it will be a parasite in his body it truly is slowly draining him of potential. in case you experience like he will die and also you want to placed him out of his misery ( i could attempt the no longer feeding and the pea issue first) then placed some clove oil in his tank (with only him in it and no different fish). this may humanely placed him to sleep. reliable luck and that i actually wish your fish feels more suitable positive!

I had a goldfish that did this for a long time. It was because their bladder or something like that (the thing that helps them stay upright) was out of whack because she was older. Sometimes she even swam upside down. She lived for a couple more years like that.

Its just how your fish swims. Unless you hurt it.

Who knows? More info is needed--tank size, how long it has been set up, water parameters, tankmates...without more details it is just a guessing game.
