If your goldfish is swimming upside down, that probably means it has swimbladder disease or something of the sort. To cure this, I suggest you feed your upside-down swimming goldfish the insides of boiled peas. I never tried it myself, but on the internet I saw the story of a person who fed his upside-down swimming goldfish some peas and the next day it was swimming normally! Try it! It will cure constipation too. But if your goldfish is floating upside down, there is a high possibility it is dead. Poke it or fish it up with a net. If it moves or thrashes around when you pick it up in a net, then it is alive.

If your goldfish is not able to stay upright, it could be water quality, or even a swimbladder problem due to constipation. Make sure that you are testing your water regularly to keep the toxins at safe levels, and also ensure that you are not overfeeding your fish.
