check the ph balance of the water. Change it if needed. Dont over feed. Make sure when changing the water you add a solution that takes out the heavy metals of tap water & can coat the skin with a slime. May want to get a care for gold fish book they are very helpful on maintaining/care for your fish.

I've looked through a few fish care websites and couldn't find any condition with symptoms like the ones he's experiencing. Swim bladder was the closest, but he's not upside down at the top/bottom of the tank, he's constanstly in motion turning over - very strange.

I have 13year old goldfish that has started doing exactly the same since a month ago. She had started to thrash against top on occasions I thought this was due her picking up trumpet snails that had got into the tank, I cleared these out. A week or so later I found her swimming in circles and since then she is bent over and stays on bottom of the aquarium. Sorry haven,t been able to find much info on this ailment.
