Look at the following two links for possible causes:

Help With Goldfish Problem
Hmmm, I posted about our newly found gold fish (under You are not going to
believe this....on March 17th) about a week ago.This post has got me wondering if something is wrong.... He is not laying on his side but he isn't swiming around either. If I disturb the water he will swim but than stop and just lay there. Maybe he is stressed? After all we didn't even know we had a live gold fish, hadn't seen any gold fish since mid August. The winter was cold enough to where the pond was frozen over for a couple of weeks. Which may seem like a short time to be frozen over in some areas country. Anyway just got me wondering if maybe we may lose this one gold fish. "RichToyBox" wrote in message news:X4L9c.122493$po.811676@attbi_s52...

Help With Goldfish Problem
Boy, I don't have a clue. The outside air temp has been between 40-47 nights
and 55-70 day time. We are having a warmer, dryer Spring than normal. I would guess the water temp. may be hovering around 45 and peeking up briefly during warmer days. Maybe the water hasn't been warm enought for the little guy. wrote in message ... what is your water temp? fish dont swim around much below 45oF or so.
