I noticed for quite sometime that my some of my goldfish topples over.
There was once when one of my goldfish toppled over and died a few days later. What happend? I am greatly in need of your advice.

Sounds as he may have swim bladder disease. I know of nothing that can help this other than aerating the tank more. Give him some frozen, smashed peas as well. Generally it's the beginning of the end, I'm afraid.

aerating the tank ?What does it mean?

[Lady Hobbs]

Air pump. If you don't have a pump, try the peas. Good luck

[tetrasangelssnailsohmy]

i believe it's an imbalance in their buoyancy... like hobbs said try the peas, it might temporarily resolve his problem but like hobbs said it might not have too much time left.

If it is swim bladder, or something similar, unfortuntely there is not much that can be done. Let us know how things go..
