Hi I have a goldfish just got him yesterday its a riyku or something like that and he is floating upside down not for a long time like maybe 5 seconds then he is all happy go lucky swiming fine then it happens again aint never seen this done research does this sound like swim bladder diesease or not and if so what can I do to help him????? Thanks
 
Swim bladder problems usually present themselves with buoyancy issues, so it could be that. Either way, it would help to starve him for a day or two then feed the crushed insides of a pea (as in, take the shell off and feed the meaty green stuff inside) for a few days. It'll help ease it :)
