Probably that the water is going bad and there is insufficient oxygen for it to breath properly. My advice is do a water change ASAP. Then follow the basic rules that follow. The basic rules for successfull fishkeeping are as follows. :- 1 inch (2.25cm) of fish needs at least 1 gallon (3.78ltrs) of water. Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank needs at least 50% of its water replaced every week. If you follow the above rules, feed the fish the correct diet and keep the container covered and at around 65F most coldwater fish will do OK. I can guarantee that if you don't keep the preceeding rules that your fish will have constant health problems and will live a considerably shorter life.

Can goldfish see you?

Yes, a goldfish can see you; in color for that matter. Goldfish have eyes on the sides of their heads which gives them a blind spot right in front of them. They can see fairly decent close up but not as clear at greater distances. They can also sense your movements with their 'sixth sense' located in their lateral line. It helps them recognize where predators are approaching from.

Why do your eyes cloud over for a few seconds when you stand up?

When you stand up quickly, gravity causes blood to pool in your legs, briefly reducing blood flow to your brain. This brief decrease in blood flow can result in a drop in blood pressure, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness. Your eyes may cloud over as a temporary response to this change in blood flow.
