Question

Help answer this question below.

My goldfish keeps floating to the top of the tank. He struggles to swim down but within seconds has floated straight back up again and just sits still at top of water. Whats wrong?

    My goldfish has had this for almost a year. It's a swim bladder problem. I stopped feeding him daily goldfish flakes, and changed to a daily diet of peas or lettuce, and frozen bloodworms (once a week.) He is doing fine, and I don't believe it is as dire a situation as the previous posts suggest. Try this new diet for awhile and see what happens. Watch the water, and don't over-feed, especially not with the worms. Good luck!
