Default floating issues with goldfish

Goldfish were bred for shallow ponds with plenty of surface area. Aquariums are designed for tropical fish, not goldfish. If you goldfish exhibits uncontrolled swimming, or has flipped over and is floating close to the surface, it may be suffering from too much water pressure.


Lower the water table in your tank until the fish can right itself.
