I have a question that many people commonly ask me about their goldfish. Why is my goldfish floating upside down? They're still alive, they just are floating upside down and then swim back to normal. My sister used to have about 5 fancy goldfish (some were calico, ryukin, oranda, etc.) She just has 1 right now. I'm just curious what makes them do this? Is it normal? Is it a sign of something? I'm just curious.... as I'm trying to learn about fish. I unfortionately work at PetsMart and whenever I don't know something I come here. I also do animal research in my spare time because it's fun. Yeah by the way if you ever think about working for petsmart, reconsider. You most likely won't get paid enough for what you put up with. If you would like to know more about this happy little topic you can email me : tinkerbell012604@yahoo.com, you can AIM me : tinkerbell012604 and it is the same for yahoo messenger. Hope everyone has a great week.
