Why do your goldfish do long feces?
Long, stringy feces can be a clue in informing you that your goldfish has constipation. You can know this when the feces do not fall from the fish right away.

Eating too many fish food that are full of protein can be the result of constipation, like pellets.

What does goldfish waste look like?
Goldfish stool can be a variety of colors and sizes. Healthy goldfish stool will be full/long and usually a brown color. Unhealthy goldfish stool may be clear, white, or red- which is an immediate sign that your fish is sick. Also, a lack of stool can indicate a health problem such as constipation. To keep your fish's digestive health and stool normal, try feeding the fish peas once or twice a week.
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.
Does a goldfish lean over when it is pregnant?
Goldfish are egg laying fish, so they do not get pregnant. If your fish is not able to remain upright, this could be a swim bladder/constipation issue. You should feed your fish some cooked de-shelled peas twice a day for up to 3 days.
What does a goldfish eat but that is not fish food?
Goldfish are omnivores, and they can eat lots of vegetables (but don't try feeding them any fruits...I never tried....but wouldn't it be weird to feed goldfish a mango or a peach?). Fish food is all protein, usually, and eating only fish food usually helps constipation happen to your poor goldfish. Imagine humans eating only meat! So I always feed my goldfish pieces of lettuce and the insides of cooked frozen peas. They make my fish healthier. Though I have never tried, some goldfish owners feed their goldfish live food, like those tiny shrimps. It is healthier for your goldfish to eat a wide variety of good, not only fish food.
