This is common when there is a lack of Oxygen in the water or a surfeit of poisons caused by either a poorly running filter, overcrowding, or lack of water changes. Fish only gasp at the surface when they are in trouble. First thing to do is a large water change followed by checking out the filter medium to make sure it is not clogged, then count the inches of fish in the tank and compare to the holding capacity. The rule is 1 inch of fish need 1 gallon of water. (2.5cm of fish needs 4.25ltrs water). If you are overstocked then some fish need to be rehoused.

Do Goldfish Need An Airpump?
While it isn't required that goldfish have an air pump in their tank. It can help your tank life by providing valuable oxygen to the fish. This isn't specific to just goldfish, as all aquatic life can benefit from the presence of a air pump. If you notice your fish swimming with their lips on top of the water level most likely they are trying to get air. This is especially true for tanks that have canister or over flow filters where the water is pumped and filtered without making contact with air.
Can a goldfish fly?
In theory, no. Goldfish are aquatic animals meaning they live in the water. They cannot be out of water for long periods of time without dieing due to lack of water. With that said, Goldfish cannot fly through air. If you threw a goldfish in air itd might be considered "flying" but in reality its most likely to die. Goldfish do not have the natural ability and talent to fly through air. If you built a tank that can support water and fish in the air and fly it then they can fly using that device, as we fly using a helicopter,jet,plane, etc.
