Depends on what caused the damage and what the exact damamge is. Most of the time, yes, a damaged swim bladder results in death of one kind or another. Either from complications internally from the damaged bladded, getting stuck to the intake of the filter from lack of swimming ability, or the other fish sensing the weakened state of the fish and eating the hurt fish.
What else can I help you with?
Describe how fish float in water?
Fish float in water due to their swim bladders, which are gas-filled organs that control their buoyancy. By adjusting the amount of gas inside the swim bladder, fish can control their depth in the water column and maintain their balance. Additionally, the shape and density of a fish's body also contribute to its ability to float and swim efficiently.
Why does your fish float at the top but is still alive?
A fish floating at the surface could be due to swim bladder issues, which can disrupt their ability to regulate buoyancy. It might struggle to swim down due to this issue but still be alive. A vet visit could help diagnose and treat the problem.
What are the key features of a fish?
they live in waterthey cant survive without wet or damp skinthey will die if they stay on land for a long time exept from one fish:forgot its nameand they taste nice.
What makes fish float?
Fishes do not exactly float, except when they die. Although fishes can move upwards and downwards by rising and sinking, sort of like a helium filled balloon. To do this, fishes need to reduce its overall density by reducing its volume without increasing its mass. For this, fishes have what we call a 'swim bladder'. This an organ that expands and contracts, just like a human lung. When the bladder is inflated, the fish has a maximum volume and is pushed to the surface. When its deflated, it has a minimum volume and sinks. In this way, fishes are capable of rising and sinking and also staying at a particular level. Hope this helped :)
Why do deep sea fish die when brought to surface?
Deep sea fish have adapted to high pressure environments and their bodies are able to function properly under those conditions. When they are suddenly brought to the surface, the rapid change in pressure can cause their swim bladders to expand and rupture, leading to internal injuries that can be fatal. Additionally, the sudden exposure to oxygen-rich surface waters can lead to gas supersaturation in their tissues, causing further harm.
Can fish die of swim bladder disease?
Well depending on the cause in some cases it may be yes, in others no. For swim bladder diseases brought on by bacterial infections the answer is usually no- unless treated with the right antibiotic. In the case of a deformed swim bladder the fish can usually live with that. For a fish suffering from cystic kidneys or an egg impaction the answer is usually no.
The organ that adjusts the buoyancy of many bony fishes is the?
The swim bladder helps the fish float right and balance. If a fish has something wrong with its swim bladder, it will have trouble swimming down and will soon get stuck upside-down and die.
Can there be too much dissolved oxygen in water for fish to survive?
No. There can not be too much oxygen in a fishes water. If a fish is swimming upside down and it is not of a species known for doing that, then the fish has a damaged swim bladder. The fish is very sick and will die.
Why does my angelfish swim with mouth pointing upwards?
If it seems that the fish is attempting to swim upwards your fish has a swim bladder problem. Your fish will die from this eventually. Pet stores may well attempt to sell you something to fix this. IMO you would be wasting your money. I would destroy/euthanase the fish.
What features enables the shark to stay afloat more easily in water?
Sharks lack a swim bladder, which enables a fish to float. Sharks must swim constantly or they will die.
How do fish use their swim bladder to float or sink?
If the bladder is filled with gas it will expand slightly and the fish will gain size but loose some relative weight so it will rise in the water. If the opposite happens the bladder shrinks in size therefore the fish has less size for its relative weight and the fish sinks.Fish's swim bladder affect its overall density by increase the fish's volume, therefor the fish's overall density decreases, it keeps the fish from sinking in water.By adjusting the amount of gas in the swim bladder, a fish can change its buoyancy allowing it to move up and down in the water column. A submarine can pump water into and out of its ballast tanks to achieve the same effect.
How fishes vary the amount of gas in their swim bladder?
they die

Goldfish floating upside but can turn up the other way and had pooed a lot overnight?
Your fish has a swim bladder problem. There is no known effective cure. The fish will die eventually. I would advise 'euthanasia'.
How do you help a fish that is bending and can't swim?
You can't help a fish with swimming because if the fish is bending it means that it is about to die and not being able to swim is a nother sign of the fish about to die.
Why does your Oscar float on its side?
That means that its swim bladder is messed up. He will likely die.
Can you feed goldfish peas?
Yes they can, as long as they are small enough to be swallowed by the fish. Peas are actually often used to help treat swim bladder problems in fish.
