This fish has been sick for four months. He is alive, but floating at the top of the aquarium tank with various spurts of energy as he tries to swim. Does anyone know of a cure.?? Please respond.!!

  • he obviously swallowed a piece of styrofoam 

  • @richardraia it would be nice to have an update, is the fish dead 2 years later? @nomnomwolves and @OneFreedomForever , agreed it is a bladder problem, but I doubt it is due to water quality. I can't speak for this video personally, but I have one goldfish that has the same issue. I can "fix" it by feeding it peas (with the skin removed) and he'll be fine for a few days, but then, right back to the problem.. None of my other fish have issues and my water chem tests come back perfect.

  • It may seem pretty crazy to see how attached some people can get to a goldfish! But it's not so easy to "kill it"... It's nice to see that there are people out there that have enough heart to try and help these little pets.

    BUT, when you know it's suffering & there's no chance for survival CLOVE OIL in the water is supposed to be the only pain free way to the other side.....

  • eat the fish..did you already?

  • Not that this is the same but when my goldfishy was ll ( sort of floa his side but then not then was again near the top, i put him in a separate small tank with a half broken up paracetamol and surely enough, by end of the day he was fine again. Don't no how ut my mother taught me this method. Tried it on a friends fish when it was doing the same thing and it was fine again after about 5 hours. Strange eh?

  • U balls sack u left the poor fish in Dirty Murkey water goldfish NEED CLEAR CLEAN WATER TO THRIVE

  • Mines on the bottom and barley moving...and when he swims he swims upside down..and it bent at the spine and is gasping for air even tho i cleaned his tank.

  • hehas swim bladder disorder that is why he cant swim or float properly, this is a complex isorder that requires an EXPERIENCED PROFFESSIONAL VETERNARIAN TO HELP WITH!,BUT HE/ SHE YOUR GOLD FISH EEDS TO BE PUT INTO A HOSPITAL TANK WITH A LOWER LEVEL OF WATER. I WOULD CALL A VETERNANRIAN OR A MARINE AQUATICS SPECIALIST IMMEDIATELY,

  • @photocrazy66 clear you dont even know what dropsy looks like the scales stick out on the fish.....if it dropsy the fish need to be taken out and killed...if left in the tank and the dropsy gets that bad and the body splits it will kill everything else in the tank..

  • @photocrazy66 you are the jerk leaving it like that clearly you dont care about it as you have left it like that it need killing simple jerk

  • i think he has dropsy.... has he been always at the top of the bowl side ways but still breathing? my goldfish was doing the same

  • @tazthai1 jerk
