While this is not always true, the reason this happens is that when the fish dies the gasses from the bacteria feeding on the now deceased fish begin the build up inside the fish, thus causing its belly to become lighter than the rest of its body and turning it upside down.
As long as your fish is not upside down all the time, it is not dead. Most likely your fish has a bladder disorder and it cannot help but float upside down.
No. Your fish has damaged its swim bladder.
Sounds like a dead or dying fish. Could be swim-bladder, extreme stress, or a gas build up.
it's dead
Its usualy dead
its dead.. Sorry, but I think your fish is dead! :(
It's half dead. Full dead is upside down.
Its Dead. When it floats up and the gills are not moving and breathing for sure it is dead
im not sure but my goldfish turns upside down and is pretty much dead but still breathing but hes got worms
All drains lead to the ocean, but when your fish dies, it is actually better to bury it because if it died from a disease,then the disease could survive the sewage system and stay in sink water.When people fill up their fish bowls, the disease could still be in the water, killing hundreds of local fish. MORAL OF STORY:Don't flush dead fish down the toilet.Bury them.
yes it can affect the fish because if you holed the fish upside down you can cause it not to breathe because all of the water is out of its system
there is no particular reason that your cat fish swims upside down but it could just be the kind of cat fish you have. it isn't abnormal for a cat fish to swim upside down because some can only swim that way.
