Your Goldfish probably has a problem with its swim bladder.

It's may be what the goldfish is being fed that is causing the problem. There is not normally enough fibre in the food we feed our Goldfish. This can lead to constipation and pressure on the swimbladder, which is the organ that keeps the fish buoyant and upright. The fish floats upside down because of the pressure on the swim bladder.

Frozen peas are the answer.

Defrost them. Take off the outer skin and then crush the peas. Feed them to the goldfish.

It may also help the goldfish to put it into a container with shallow water in it - use water from the fish tank. Feed it the peas.

Hopefully you will see an improvement in a very short space of time.

Why is goldfish turning sideways?

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.
