When koi swims upside down is generally a way of knowing that it is unhealthy. This can be from a number of things; the main reasons being bloat / digestion problems, disease / illness. If they are suffering from digestion problems you need to re-assess what type of feed you are using, and the quantity in which you give to them. Koi have a strange diet, as they eat all types of feed such as specialised flakes and pellets, brine shrimp, blood worms, larvea, and some vegetation. If the diet has been changed, and they are receiving a variety in their diet, then there is a high chance they aresuffering from a disease or illness. There are many types of books that you can pick up from your local petshop that can help you look at the signs and symptoms and to narrow down the possible disease that they may have, and quite possibly give you a solution or chemical to use to prevent and treat the disease. In some cases a fish floating upside down is a sign that is dying and can longer balance and control its body.
