Signs Your Goldfish Is Overfed
Overfed goldfish may rub on the glass, swim tilted, sit on the bottom, or float belly-up, sometimes with white or yellow stool. Ease it with water changes, warmth, current, and oxygen to aid digestion. Overfeeding badly strains the gut and can cause inflammation, so feed small, frequent meals and control portions — usually 1-2 feeds daily, more in hot weather.
