What?!?!?!?!?! He got cuaght in the filter intake! you eman both of his ubbles where caught poor fish! It's ammonia from what im hearing I have a bubble eyed goldfish but im not sure if that's what your talking about. It could be ammonia or to cold of water if you palced a heater in there and rasied it up to baout let's say 74-75 he will be much more comfotable fancy goldfish like warmer waters. If you have him in cold it creates swim bladder problems but getting your water tested is very important! You could have ammonia spike or something. You hsould do frequent water changes every week 25 % at least 2 times a week would keep the water clean. My goldfish tank 5g if very clean always becasue he gets sick very easy and starts losing his balance that's why I added the heater it helped. Fare as the water changes there's no question about it I have to do water changes twice a day becasue my goldfish is in such a small tank
