I did what the second answer told me to do, and, I deffently believe with her! Well, my goldfish was over fed, and, he was dead yesterday morning, though, he was alive after a few minutes! He was swiming on his side yesterday, but, luckly is now swimming normaly, but, with a somewhat kinda wierd. He usually swims with his head down, and his tail up. I would really like to know what is going on! I REALLY want him to live, but, I am not sure if that is going to happen. I just cleaned his bowl, but, I haven't given him any food yet. Should I? How much? Also, when I was cleaning his bowl, I noticed that he had a white, long piece of poop, with two brown things inside, kinda like the white part was see-through! What is this? WHOEVER ANSWERS ALL OF MY QUESTIONS, WILL GET 10 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!

Answer 1

you're not suppose to feed them more then twice a day as much as they will eat in under 2 min

You're goldfish needs also a big tank, and not a tiny little bowl, that's cruel and just calls for disaster as well

As long as you don't get him a tank with a filter, the survive chances for your fish are very slim

And if he usually swims with his head down, it sounds like he has a swimbladder disorder, which the following site can help you to treat

Answer 2

This sounds like a swimbladder problem as well the cause is the way people feed the goldfish. Sorry there is no cure for this. Goldfish should be fed on the bottom of the tank. It's not good for them to gulp air when the eat. The best way to do this is to wet the food before feeding to the putting it in the water.
