It is very sick and needs to either be taken to a vet or killed because it is in a lot of pain Might be a disease called "Dropsy". This disease is characterised by a swollen or hollow abdomen (Ascites). A concentration of fluid in the body tissues and cavities causes the fish's abdomen to become swollen and appear bloated. Swollen areas may exhibit a 'pine-cone' appearance caused by the fish's scales sticking out. You can best see this by viewing your fish from the top. Fish may also stop feeding, appear off-colour, become listless and/or lethargic, have sunken eyes, and hang at the top or stay at the bottom of the aquarium. The condition affects the fish's internal organs, ceasing proper function. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_dropsy

What is a goldfish predator?
Any fish large enough to swallow a goldfish will probably do so. Most fish eating birds will also eat them. Then of course there are the human idiots. People who swallow live goldfish because they think it is a 'smart' or 'in' thing to do.A goldfish does not have a predator, but it can still die from lack of food or water.
