Answer
Hi,
Fancy goldfish are one of 3 types of fish i don't like. They are very pretty, but they have so many genetic deformities it is virtually impossible to avoid or treat most things like this. One thing that might work, is hold the fish with it's out up and tail down and give the fish a VERY gentle squeeze. Sometimes they inhale lots of air in transport and this helps them get it out. I'm very sorry you're having problems, and sorry your fish is in pain.
