Question
I have 2 Oranda goldfish. 1 Med and 1 Large. They big guy seems to be having some problems swimming and keeping himself right-side-up...I know this is not a good sign, but do you have any advice on saving it??? Please

Answer
Hi Vanessa,

Due to line breeding the swimbladder in Fancy Goldfish has been effected. Unfortunately now it does not consist of two roughly equal sections. This could be a swimbladder disorder, however I need some more details. Has there been any physical changes in your fish or any other behavioural abnormalities??

cheers

Tom
