My son has a goldfish that has pillow like sacks around his eyes. We bought him like that. He is so cute.
One day one of his pillows popped. Next day it inflated again.
The following day he started to swim upside down.
Why is he/she doing this?
He/she is swimming fine now.
What are in the pillows around his eyes?

I was looking and how you described it, it sounds like a bubble eye goldfish. And the bubbles will pop and re-inflate. That the way it floated is normal for being sick or old.

It sounds like a Bubble Eyed Goldfish, but the fact that it popped is not normal. When it was swimming upsidedown, that was likely a swim bladder infection that it was able to fight off. Just as a precaution (you don't need to, but to prevent it from returning), go to the fish store and buy a general bacterial antiotic for the fish. Good luck!
