My ryukin goldfish Nemo just started swimming in circles and it looks like he is trying to swim. He will go up to the top of the tank and flip on his side a little bit and then struggle to the bottom! Is this swim bladder disorder? Will he die? What can I do?

Try feeding some cooked frozen peas. Take the skins off the peas before feeding. This always works for my fish Mr. BigOh and check your water to if anything is off

Thank you! I'll try that

Sometimes it also helps to fast the fish for 2-3 days, then do 1 or 2 feedings of peas. Feeding in smaller amounts may help, too.

It's frightening to see your fish floating, I know, but a floaty fish is one of the easier problems to deal with.

luvmyfish, could you please answer all of the questions in the white box at the top of the page? Or at least all you can so we can get an idea of your water params? As soon as you post these it will be easier for someone to give you a diagnosis of what is going on with your fish.

Thanks, and hope you post back soon!

Nemo is ALL better! Yay The peas were all that he needed! Thanks for the great advice everyone !

YAY for Nemo!!!

Beautiful fish in your avitar and signature!! Just love Fiona!!
