Question
my calico goldfish has been acting very weird. His stomach is very bloated and he keeps gasping. He is still interested in food but he keeps puking. what could i do?

Answer
I'm afraid it sounds like it may be the end for him, you can try to see if he can recover but from what it sounds like it does not seem likely. As long as he eats there is a chance of recovery.This sounds like an internal organ problem and no medicines for fish are out for those kinds of problem, you may want to speak to your veterinarian in case something new has come out, it may be a parasitic problem also. Note the vet will probably cost money.
