Hej,
Det har ibland diskuterats om guldfiskar som får problem att de flyter upp och ned mer eller mindre permanent.
Det finns många teorier och möjligheter att tillrätta visa även kirurgi rekommenderas men det enklaste är oftast att prova med ett par dagars fasta och senare att använda en typ sjunkande pellets.
Det senaste teorin som jag hittat om hur det uppkommer har jag infogat här nere om det intresserar. :o)

Sorry for coming into this thread late.
As most of you may know, I have an
upside-down-floating ribbontail calico ryukin.
I recently read on the GoldfishBreeders Yahoo mailing
list, that feeding high protein foods much past the
6th month of a goldfish's life drastically increases
the chances of them becoming floaters. (Some breeders
have posted about their experience with this.)
That seems to be corroborated by what happened with my
floating ryukin, as I had begun feeding her
occasionally with high protein foods (in the
neighborhood of 50% protein) about a week before she
started permanently floating. I'm now thinking I'll
feed my adult goldfish with lower protein foods.
Though for fast-growing fry, 50% protein (and around
12% fat) seems to help them grow the fastest. They
don't really need that much protein and fat, though.
I've recently read a study that concluded that fry
that are fed about 21% protein (and about 5% fat) will
grow more slowly, but will catch up over time.
I suspect the high protein damages the adult
goldfishes' kidneys, swim bladder, or some other
organ/organs. I'm still trying to find more info.
about this phenomenon.
