    If your fish is still alive it has a problem with its swim bladder. This can happen when a fish is fed flake food all the time, it causes a build up of gas when the dry food is digested and obviously the fish will float to the surface. Cook a few frozen peas, remove the skins and chop whats left up into managable pieces and feed them to the fish. This might not work straight away, but stick with it for 3 or 4 days and hopefully your fish will be back to normal :)

    It could be on a hunger strike. :-)!
    Did you try pokin' it with a stick or something to see if it moved? :-)!!
    Or it could be horny and wants a mate. :-)!!!

    Show him the "flush sequience" look like you'll be heading off to the pet shop to get yourself an alive fish.

    It's a trick of the fish to move out of that jar by acting like dead.
