One of my goldfish has always had flip over disease since the first time I fed him. It is always a struggle to watch this beautiful fish float upside down after every feeding. He will just go to the top of the tank for 6 hours or so, every now and then he will try to right himself and swim to the bottom the just float back up. I have tried everything to fix this. Feeding fresh peas, soaking the all three kinds of pellets that I feed him, but nothing seems to work. Luckily I am feeding only once, lightly every other day because of the colder weather but when it warms up I will be feeding twice a day. The nitrates are less than 5, so that cannot be it.
Anyone have some advice on trying to fix this? Or should I just allow the fish to float and right himself and keep my fingers crossed that he will not get any sores on his belly.
