a normal GF swims all over the tank, is busy looking for food all the time.
Check water parameters including ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, pH and temperature.
especially check nitrates.
what and how much are you feeding the fish? does the food sink?

My lionhead goldfish stays at the top of the tank 24-7, has for 2
months, except for when he eats, and he eats good but soon as he's thru,
he heads for the same exact spot and just "hovers" there. He honestly
stays in about a 6 sq. inch space, on occassion he'll swim in a circle.
Should I be concerned? No visible problems either and no gasping. I've
had him a year. All water conditions are good.
