WHy is my tropical fish alive but upside down

Question
i read ur answer about goldfishes but want 2 no if it alos applies 2 tropical fish and if not wat can i do 2 keep it alive wat should i feed it

Answer
Hi Russell;

If the cause of the problem is gas in the intestines and he is floating upside-down then peas should help. If not, then I need more information;

What kind of food do you feed?
What kind of fish is it?
How old is the fish?
What size tank?
How long has it been set up?
How often do you make water changes?
Does the tank have a filter?
What is the water temperature?
