This has also happened to my fish when i was younger and left me in tears for days but now i realise it is a pretty common cause.

If this happens to your fish or anyone else you know who’s fish is doing this means that the fish has lost their equilibrium meaning that they are unable to maintain their position. Majority of the times this means that your fish has a swim bladder problem.

It is pretty difficult to treat your fish if it is suffering from a swim-bladder disease but you can try antibiotics that you can buy from an aquarium or frozen peas.

If you know any other tips please share…
