A goldfish will due this as a result of either an internal bacterial infection or an infestation of parasites. Raise the tanks salt concentration to 0.3% to help kill off any possible parasites. Also, Start the fish on an antibiotic medicated food. If the fish does not show any sign(s) of improvement continue treatment, only add an anti-parasitic medication to the tank's water.
