A female goldfish may lay on her side if she is eggbound. Eggbound is the condition inwhich a female goldfish becomes so full of eggs that it causes pressure to be placed on the swim bladder causing the fish to swim oddly. If the fish is eggbound it may also look swollen. Goldfish don't get truly "pregnant" because they are not livebearers.
No, it's just a natural formation in female fancy goldfish. But if it's REALLY fat, biger than the body, and so heavy that the fish itself can't swim, then it's a disease called droopsy. There are many ways to cure droopsy, which you can Google.
A goldfish laying on it's side likely has a swim bladder problem.
The first thing you will need to do is test your water for ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates, they should be 0, 0, and less than 10 respectively; if they are not, you should do an immediate 75% water change on your tank making sure that the new water is the same temperature as the old water. Also make sure that you add the recommended dosage of water conditioner per the instructions on the bottle.
The next thing to do is to feed your goldfish cooked de-shelled peas for the next few days. They cannot digest the outer skin, so you just want the soft insides after they are cooked. Since the goldfish is probably constipated, you can add one very small grain of Epsom salt into a piece of pea that you feed your fish as epsom salt is a natural laxative for them (but never over-feed this); do not exceed 3 days of this pea/epsom salt diet as it can harm the fish. Hopefully this will help your fish return to normal. If not, it's quite possible that the fish will not survive.
Generally goldfish lie on their side when they're dead . . .
No. It could mean a swim bladder problem so im told. my goldfish are the same and all I can do is hope.
They are NOT pregnant
no they don't goldfish sleep with their eyes open and they swim around in their sleep
They Lay eggs on the side of the pond or on a plant
because they fill up with air and the top of its head is heavy
Goldfish do lay eggs. The eggs will attach to something in the tank or bowl until they hatch.
I'm sorry, but your goldfish is dead....
Goldfish are egg layers
when you get it a mate.
when you get it a mate.
Of course! Goldfish reproduce sexually not asexually
If it is as old as a goldfish that can, it can.
goldfish need to lay eggs. Because if they don't no goldfish would be alive and would not be any more so they would become gone forever.
Yes.
