My goldfish is swimming upside down and vertically! I know how to treat it but can you guys all wish luck for my goldfish? I am pretty sure it has a swim bladder problem because it was overfed.
Always watch the overfeeding. That most certainly sounds like a swim bladder problem. I'd highly recommend a water change afterwards, and perhaps a small bit of tea tree oil. It could also depend on the conditions of the tank. What is it's other tank mates, and what's the water temperature? They tend to like cooler water, so if it's too warm it could play in a stress factor.
Why is it always impossible to take care of a pet that is as simple as a goldfish? Never in my life have I had a pet fish that even lasted a MONTH. I'd be lucky if it even did.
Once you spot a small difference in your goldfish, there is no way to save it, and that's the sad truth.
I hate how fancy goldfish are so fragile. They die so quickly.
I usually buy Betta fish over normal Goldfish. They're more appealing, tend to not die as much as goldfish would, and comes in different colours and variations.

Goldfish are cheaper though and you can only usually have one betta because the bettas would tear each other apart.

One is always easier to take care of to begin with though. Having more than one can have issues to begin with, and I'm saying that for every type of domestic fish you can buy at the pet store.
My beta fish committed suicide while I was cleaning the bowl. Jumped right up out of the cup and dried out.
I had a similar scenario with one of my mother's betta fish. She got a fish for her class and they named it Buddy. Then one day, Buddy disappeared from his bowl and no one knew where he went. The very next day, a few students ended up finding him underneath a table, dried out.
I'm sure those students were horrified at the sight of it.
Also if your fish jumped out of the cup, why didn't you try and put it back in? Was it a silent leap of faith that it was impossible to notice?

Figured it was time for a change.
What always gets me is that goldfish don't know when to stop eating.
My goldfish (like 4) died quickly lets just say.
- C.C.
I would recommend not using the Griseous Orb as a fish tank ornament. It does seem to have some odd connection with the Distortion World after all...
Sadly, this morning my goldfish died.
The feels.
I used to have 3 fish when I was younger. They died too.
All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king

Because I wasn't there.
Trying a bit too hard to be edgy there.
How did the bigger fish fit in the smaller ones mouth?
Funny? Weird? I'd call it horrific and bizarre.
