What does it mean when your goldfish keeps going to the surface?

Goldfish (Carassius auratus) should not have bubbles on their scales. These could be forming because there is a surfeit of air in the water. Given time this air will dissipate and the bubbles will dissappear.

∙ 11y agoIf your goldfish spends a lot of time surfacing and appearing to gasp for air, this is typically a water quality issue.
Test your water for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates which should be 0, 0, and less than 10 respectively. If they are not, you should do an immediate 50% water change making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old water, and that you use the recommended dosage of aquarium water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle.
In addition, check your PH level which should be 7.2 to 7.6; if it is much lower, the water change should help balance that out.

They are just passing air that they ingested from the surface, or air that’s trapped in the food.
Be sure to Feed flakes into the filter current so they go under the water, or feed sinking food so the fish ingests less air. Swallowing air can cause swimbladder trouble.

How can you tell which goldfish you have?
If you mean like what breed of goldfish you have then that should be fairly easy. I determined what kind I had by looking at his markings and going on wikipedia. If you go to Wikipedia.com and type goldfish in your search bar then scroll down there will be pictures of goldfish with the breed next to them. It is fairly easy and that's how I found out what my goldfish were.
