my fish also does that. Is your fish a male or female? If it is a female it is probably pregnant. Hope that helps!

How many days do you have to wait to put your goldfish in its tank?
I actually don't own goldfish, i own freshwater fish, like you but they're warm water, not cold, like a goldfishes. but i think you only have to wait about 30min (see next paragraph), that's what it is for my fish. before you put them in the tank, let there bag (the one you take them home in) sit in your tank for those 30min. just incase, though, you may want to ask your local pet store for more on goldfish.
Why is goldfish staying at the bottom of the tank and not swimming around. he is eating.?
There are several things that can cause a goldfish to sit at the bottom. One reason for this is if your goldfish has an internal bacterial infection;the outcome for this, if left untreated, is usually dropsy and eventually death. However there are several ways to affectively treat this: one way is to feed the fish a medicated food, the food should contain antibiotics, (most medicated foods sold at petstores do not contain antibiotics that are actually affective against bacterial infections, ) however one medicated food known to work well (and has three affective antibiotics) is "medi-gold"(goldfish medicated food). A second way to treat a bacterial infection is antibacterial injections, this method however should only be performed by a piscine vet. Goldfish may also sit at the bottom if they are suffering from an infestations of flukes(a microscopic flatworm). Almost all goldfish that are purchased have flukes and usually are immune to the parasite until their slime coat (immune system) is damaged or if they are stressed. An affective way to treat flukes is using one of the following: formalin,potassium permganate,Droncit, or fluketabs. Lastly one other cause for a goldfish to sit at the bottom would be if the goldfish has a deformed swimbladder; either the swimbladder did not form right or is full of water instead of air. Usually the only way to correct this is by consulting a piscine vet to surgically fix the swim bladder.

What can you give goldfish to help their health?
Goldfish are relatively easy to care for. The most important thing with them is to buy them clean pure water or let their water sit out for at day prior to adding it to the bowl. Purchasing vitamins for gold fish and adding filters and a heater to the tank will help.
Why would a goldfish stay at the bottom of the tank and barely move?
If you don't have a pair of fish actively and obviously chasing around like mad spawning, whatever it is you are seeing, I can almost certainly guarantee that they won't be eggs.

Is my goldfish dying if it's lays on the bottom and only swims to the top to eat?
goldfish helpi had the same problem. i separated it from my others in a tank with lots of air bubbles. i held the fish with a spoon near the bubbles until he started swimming and looking better. i found out it was because my filter needed cleaning.back with others fine now.or you can try putting a little salt in the water to clean out it's gills GOLDFISH HELP 2No your Goldfish is not dying because when it lays on the bottom it might want some rest or just trying to sleep, and maybe its just tired but i don't think its dying, it will soon get better, trust me look after it like me because if you do it may live for a year, mine did for more than one years...but now its dead.
Will a cup of sugar mess up your car?
If it was poured into the fuel tank it would sit on the bottom of the tank like sand. If some made it through the fuel pump pickup screen it would plug up the fuel filter.
How do you know when your goldfish is dying?
The fish may look paler than normal or exhibit lethargic behavior. They also will sit at the bottom and refuse food or may become unable to move. Their breathing will usually be very labored.
