It looks more like a wasting disease. Perhaps tuberculosis? Fluke is also another cause for that deathly look. It's only a matter of time for all of them to get sick and die. Lucky for you that Prazi-Q, Coppersafe and Maracyn-two are available. All stores nowadays should medicate their tanks before selling these sickly fishes because no doubt, all of them are already sick or carrying some kind of diseases, bacteria, parasites. BTW, you tank also looks over crowded.

ya all died but two. i think it also had something to do with the filter it wasn't working right but i put a new one in a cleaned the fish tank real well and the remaining two and new moor are doing very well. your right it was overcrowded so i'm only sticking with the tree

found these on iternet Feed your fish a couple of peas. That's right, peas. Just get some frozen peas, thaw them, and feed them to your fish. A professor of fish medicine at N.C. State College of Veterinary Medicine has done this in several cases with very good resultst cure gold fish

Sorry about your fishes. Thing is, whenever I buy, I already assume infection and flukes. Think about it, these fishes come from big Asian ponds. It only takes one fish to bring death to the rest. It's usually just a matter of short time. Sad to say. Anyhow, I find that Prazi Q to be very gentle. I also feed the new ones with Medi-Gold. Quarantine is a must.

thats definitely too much airflow, one of the causes of swimbladder is air gulping cut down on the oxygen and feed vegies, boiled brocoli they love,

Mine is just floating around. I fed it with peas but the question is how long does it take to cure this disease?

Do not put neosporin on ur fish that's retarded seeing how ur not even supposed to get ur hands on or in the water. Feed them frozen pees uve thawed in water,Peel them, n cut em up or smush em. Also get a sample of ur water to a petshop. Mail me if u need more

Man, he looks almost emaciated compared to the others (the red and white ones.) Their tummies should be plump and rounded, not flat

Does my goldfish have swim bladder disease? Its tail floats upwards and it's head faces downwards it eats and stuff though.

i wish i put the peas yesterday when my other white goldfish was still alive and now my goldfish the boy is swimming sideways and trys to kill himself by jumping out of the water!?! i have 2 left now, so when its time to feed the fish do i seperate the white healthy fish and put her in another bowl then feed my goldfish with the diease in the same bowl so my helathy one wont get the diseas

i realy dont know possibly another fish attacked him and it got infected. you can put neosporin on it;

Feed him frozen peas. It is swim bladder disease. This can be caused by many things. Ornamental goldfish get this the most. When breed to have long fins or a certain color, the swim bladder may be damaged. What's happening is that his swim bladder is damaged and he can't balance himself. Make sure he's treated because this disease can turn deadly. Could be TB or a parasitic infection. If a parasitic or microbial infection infects near the swim bladder it can be serious. I hope he gets well!
