How Do You Cure A Floating Goldfish?
If your goldfish is floating at the top of his tank, and can’t seem to sink or can’t stay down in the water for long, he may have pockets of gas trapped in his digestive system. You can cure your sick goldfish easily in a few simple steps. Thaw a frozen pea in a little warm water. When it is soft, squeeze it gently so that some of the insides squish out through the skin. Skewer the pea with a toothpick, so that it will float where the fish can easily eat it. Float the pea in the fish tank. Give your fish a fresh pea every day for a few days. Do not feed him any other food. After a day or two of eating the frozen peas, your fish should be able to sink and swim freely again. You can continue to feed him peas for a day or two after this. When your fish can swim normally, feed him only sinking fish food; floating food, such as flakes, can cause him to swallow air, which will only make any other digestive problems worse. If your fish does not improve, you can try adding a little aquarium sa
