Ive got 2 Goldfish in a Biube.

Everytime i feed then, one of the fish starts to swim on his side after eating. Hes done if for the last couple of weeks. During the day hes seems to be fine, he eats and then for the next 6 or so hours swims funny and seems to float at the top of the tank?

Whats wrong with him ?
Is it something i can treat him with, his water is treated when a water change is done.


Any help would be great !

Are you feeding pellets or flakes?

Wish, you could try posting here Tropical Fish Centre - powered by vBulletin they have a coldwater section and some well clued up users, good luck

Flakes once a day

I heard once that some foods can expand when in the fish's stomach and make them a bit lopsided for a while but normally that only happens with pellets.

I would second the advice to try a fish specific forum, too much advice from SN and your fish could be doing all sorts of wierd stuff

This could be a swim bladder problem. I believe this abnormality grows with the fish and can cause the fish to die.

Try Mars Bars instead
