What kind of goldfish is it? The round-bodied ones are VERY
likely to get swim bladder issues because of their shape.
They'll tilt & float a lot. It can actually be fatal in some
cases.

Here's something that helps.

First, don't feed them for three or four days . . . even a
week will be OK...See More

What size tank is it in? Tank conditions can also aggravate
swim bladder. If you have a round-bodied fish, it should be
in a absolute MINIMUM of 10 gallons of water . . . that's just
for ONE fish.

Try the pea trick-- feed him baby food peas on a toothpick. My bettas love it and
now, never become constipated.
