How old is the vertical goldfish in the aquarium?
There is nothing decaying in the tank, the plants have been in there about 5 weeks and I’ve only ever had my fish in there – there are no snails. He is about 2-3 years old, he is periodically swimming, for a few seconds, the he just tilts up into the vertical position.
Why is my goldfish floating on his side?
A few weeks ago we had one goldfish floating on his side at the top of the tank. After some google searching, I gave him some smashed up thawed out frozen peas and he recovered quickly and completely.
How often should I change my vertical goldfish’s water?
You would need to do daily or every 2nd day small partial water changes (10-15%) to continue diluting the toxins. Make sure you do not overfeed and there is no uneaten food left in the tank (uneaten has to be removed). make sure the water is well aerated as it will help speed up the cycling and/or bacteria to catch up.

What causes goldfish to float at the surface?
Goldfish floating upside down at surface. Goldfish floating upside down or bobbing at the surface are suffering from floating issues. Floating issues are caused by feeding too much at one time which leads to constipation, however, kidney failure is the secondary cause.
