| It sounds like he is sick. Did you just change the water? Did you let the chlorine evaporate? |

| It sounds like he's overstressed. Turn the lights down and don't disturb the tank too much. Check your water condition. Good luck. |

| Might be just a low oxygen level in his water. Is he in a bowl or a tank? If he is in a tank is the air pump working ok? Also is the water clean, have you added anything new recently? Is the water temperature ok?, not too hot(small bowl by the window). |

| If it is a Goldfish more than likely it is sick. They get Ick, the disease, all the time. Check the symptoms list on the site in the sources section. Sounds like your goldfish? |

| Does your tank have an air pump ? If not the bowl or tank needs one. Goldfish need airation. Maybe he is having trouble breathing due the low oxygen content of the water. Also you may want to test your amonia and nitrate levels. |
