@vietfrank Oh, and two more tips for after your fish recovers. Pre-soak your flakes before adding them into the tank. This allows the flakes to expand before the fish eat them; expanding food inside the fish's digestive system can irritate the swim bladder, as well as cause constipation. Remember to give you fish a varied diet as well, such as peas, lettuce, oranges, and bloodworms... but only on occasion or as a treat! Good luck! :)

@vietfrank Hey, my goldfish has had the same problem before; it is pretty common, and usually not fatal. Your fish is probably suffering from swim bladder disease. The most likely causes are either poor water quality, or too much proccessed foods (flakes, pellets). Try changing about 15% of your tank water. Also, I recommend fasting your goldfish for about 2-3 days. This may sound cruel, but goldfish could usually live a week without food. This was successful for me, good luck! :)
