Swimming Belly-up Goldfish Remedy

By Caroline (Guest Post)

My little pearl scale goldfish started to swim belly up and I was told to flush it. I've already given it two treatments of antibiotics and it seemed to get a bit better but it's not swiming around just kinda floats there like it can't unstick it's self from the top...I hope the peas work! ;o)

My mom tried this and it WORKED!!! Well at least it seems to be working, the fish no longer floats at the top with its belly up. The water is a little muggy but she just keeps cleaning it, she even used frozen peas, with out the skin and the fish loves them, and she feeds it its normal food just not too much. Thank God for the internet, well, we could have just bought a nother fish. Which, it's not a goldfish by the way, it's some sort of other color fish.

Thanks for posting this remedy. My ryukin started swimming belly up today and I just gave him some peas. He's already swimming better. Thanks again!

What does this do? I am a bit confused as to what this does and why it works?

Hi,
We wrote to lilhoneybrat and got a response. Used canned peas. See the original post for the complete answer.

I am sorry but I am confused. Do you mean sweet pea flowers, or actual peas from the vegetable garden, and can you use frozen peas that have been thawed out?
