Typical signs of goldfish illness include lack of appetite, loss of scales, loss of coloration, abnormal spots on the fish, staying at the surface of the water, and swimming upside down or on its side.
Because your goldfish is dead.
I'm sorry, but your goldfish is dead....
I am not very sure but my guess is Yes. But I do know if it is floating upside down it is very dead. Hope the Goldfish does not die
dead pond fish
Its dead
A goldfish is dead when you touch it and it doesn't react. You can also know if it is floating lifelessly on the surface of the water, or in some cases (like mine), lying on the bottom of the tank lifelessly.
To dispose of a dead goldfish, wrap it in a paper towel and place it in the trash. Do not flush it down the toilet or bury it in the garden.
if it is not swimming and it lays on its side then it is dead.
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!
If it does that it's dead
Its DEAD
for only he goldfish or fish know that
