Dead goldfish comes back to life

Ok, so the goldfish wasn't actually dead. His name was Cornflakes, he was my sister's goldfish, and he used to sleep upside down on the surface of the water, looking very dead.

Ironically, when he actually died, he sank to the bottom. RIP, Cornflakes.

[EDIT: To appease certain idiots, I'd like to point out that what I have referred to as "sleep" in fish is obviously different from that of other animals. However, I am still going to refer to this resting behavior as "sleep", and anyone who doesn't like it needs to find a better hobby than trolling over minute semantics in YouTube descriptions. Also, I'm aware that the fish had a problem with his swim bladder. I'll refrain from sarcasm on this point.]

Swim bladder infection visit a local pet shop they'll heal him

@NavySEALsSpectator *sigh* Thank you for your comment, but I'm aware that it was a swim bladder problem. I mention this in the video description, along with the fact that the fish is now dead, soooo...I don't think the local pet shop will help poor Cornflakes.

It wasn't really sleeping, but it had a minor case of swim bladder disease. Goldfish first of all don't sleep. Especially NOT upside down. That's just ignorance.

Yes, he had a problem with his swim bladder, making it very hard for him to keep from floating to the top of the tank...so when he wasn't actively swimming, he floated to the top. Goldfish, along with all animals, DO SLEEP. If you can't do a bit if research before you make a stupid claim, then YOU'RE ignorant.

Obviously my comment in the description about how the goldfish isn't actually dead was lost on you.

And he actually WAS sleeping in this video. After years of caring for a goldfish in this condition, we could tell the difference between awake/asleep.

Seriously, read the description first if you care enough to comment on a video.
