Well, you could touch him, but that's not reccomended. Most likely your fish it dead, or sleeping. I've never heard of a fish playing dead.

If your fish looks "dead" but is not, it is probably asleep. If it is floating at the top of your tank, it is either dead or dying.
It will usually stop moving, and sometimes just float at the service.
When it is floating not swimming.
when they are floating on the water
The only fish species that i know of that lives out of water is the dead kind.
you can tell cuz if a fish is just staying very very still with eyes wide open. but they have to be hovering close to an object.
Well yes that is a hard thing to find out because fish don't have eyelids but if a goldfish is upside down or sideways or just sinks to the bottom its dead but if it just pausesit just means its taking a little snooze!
Scavenger fish like catfish, carp, and some species of bottom-dwelling fish feed on dead fish. These fish help to clean up the ecosystem by consuming decaying matter and recycling nutrients back into the food chain.
i dont know maybe
YEAH!!!If you know that 2x2=dead fish. (Whoops)
If it is dead yes - seagulls will eat just about anything including their own kind
The white fins wont be moving and they will be at the bottom of the tank
They just know......
