Help With Goldfish Problem

Hmmm, I posted about our newly found gold fish (under You are not going to
believe this....on March 17th) about a week ago.This post has got me
wondering if something is wrong.... He is not laying on his side but he
isn't swiming around either. If I disturb the water he will swim but than
stop and just lay there. Maybe he is stressed? After all we didn't even know
we had a live gold fish, hadn't seen any gold fish since mid August. The
winter was cold enough to where the pond was frozen over for a couple of
weeks. Which may seem like a short time to be frozen over in some areas
country. Anyway just got me wondering if maybe we may lose this one gold
fish.

Look at the following two links for possible causes:

http://www.koivet.com/html/glossary/...a ying%20over

http://www.koivet.com/html/articles/...=laying%20over
And if these don't transfer properly, go to www.koivet.com and enter into
the search "laying over"
