What causes a swim badder disease for goldfish?
While overfeeding certainly can cause swim bladder disorder (it is not really a disease) and should be avoided, swim bladder disorder has a variety of causes including the shape of your fish and his insides! Goldfish have a very compressed body shape to begin with, and simple constipation or build up of air in their tummies from dried pellets can cause them to have swim bladder disorder. Occasionally it is a symptom of bacterial infection, so that should not be ruled out either. To treat: Fast the fish for 2-3 days (this sounds mean, but they do well in the wild for sometimes weeks without food), then feed them nothing but the squished insides of green sweet peas. This helps to clean out their system. They will poop green. It is nothing to worry about, and is sortof funny... This is also a good regimen to do occasionally for a fish that is well, as it prevents the problem in the first place. I do this with my two goldfish once a month, and they have never had SBD once.
