goldfish have something in them called a swim bladder that expands when they want to go up and inflates when they want to go down but no matter if they float up or down they have to paddle with there fins to move.

∙ 14y agoThe movement of a goldfish has been described often as dancing by some. Others find it to look rather like an awkward waddle. A more descriptive statement would be that a goldfish moves itself via the pectoral and caudle fin(s) much like a snake- with a jerk to one side and another to the other to get to where it wants to go. It uses an air-filled organ called the swimbladder to control it bouyancy and to move up and down.

No it would not. Although you want to make sure that you are feeding your fish regularly, it will not harm a goldfish to fast for a day as this is something that is commonly done if a goldfish is having buoyancy problems due to a swim bladder issue (along with additional treatment)
