Why does my Goldfish stay at the bottom of the tank?
My goldfish is staying at the bottom of the tank and is bent at an angle. Sometimes he frantically swims for 1 sec. He also doesn’t/can’t eat. What do I do? Goldfish sit at the bottom of a tank when they are not well, often because toxins have built up in the water. Goldfish are usually active, and lethargy is a sign of illness.
Why are my Goldfish hiding in the House?
Goldfish and many other species are used to being around many other fish at once. If you only have one or two fish, your fish could simply be hiding because they’re feeling lonely and thus, less protected. Isolation can cause your fish to feel scared and threatened because they aren’t being protected by the presence of all the other fish.
Is it a good sign when a goldfish dies?
While I know nothing about specific signs of dying fish (or goldfish), this did not seem to be a good sign.

I realize that goldfish are not known for a long lifespan, but I’m still curious to know:
What should I do if my Goldfish is swimming on its side?
Goldfish are dirty fish, and it’s important to do partial water changes frequently to keep them healthy. A friend of mine keeps a second fishbowl full of water around, then simply dumps the fish in the clean one (which has been sitting around, so is chlorine-free and at room temperature) while he washes out the old one.

Why are goldfish not good for the environment?
Goldfish excrete lots more waste than other species, and this can quickly pollute even a large tank. Ammonia levels from goldfish waste can build up quickly and cause your fish lots of problems – include disease and even death. To complicate things, they also love clean water. Clean water combined with messy fish? That’s not a match made in heaven.
