Hi all,
A couple days ago my goldfish was upside down. I thought he was dead until he started swimming right side up.
Then I noticed a little bit of red on his underbelly by his smaller fin. He was still upside down, but rocking himself back and forth like he was 'scratching' his fin against the water surface.
Today, the red is gone, and he's still upside down unless I go over to the tank. Then he swims around like normal.
He's the only fish in the tank, so there's no threat to anyone else. I thought maybe Swim Bladder problems, but now I'm not so sure.
I don't know if I should watch him for the next few days or if he needs meds.
