Goldfish floating

Goldfish floating and unable to rest comfortably on bottom is a sign the intestinal tract is slow or even impacted depending on the severity of the symptom. This is normally caused from poor feeding habits. Most goldfish keepers feed too much food only once or twice a day. Feeding less food more often encourages a healthy digestive tract, which discourages floating issues

Fancy fish typically experience these issues more often then plain goldfish due to the ever changing genetics humans enjoy toying with. The shapes of their bodies are often short and fat, confining their intestines

Feed a variety of foods, and feed less food more often to avoid floating issues
