I have had two goldfish for about six years in a bio orb for the past year over the last couple of days the smaller fish became lethargic and on monday I removed him from the tank as he was floating on his side. There was slight movement from the gills but he remained on his side for the rest of the day. I bought a new goldfish and cleaned the bio orb and introduced the new fish. I then went to dispose of the removed fish but as I touched the bowl he flipped over and started moving again. He ate the flakes put in the bowl and has remained in there since what could have been wrong and can I introduce him to the other two fish?

it has swim bladder/bloat problems, the recommended cure & preventative for it believe it or not is a pea!! get a pea (doesn't matter if it's tinned), ever so gently squish it so that the skin breaks and the inside of it can be gotten to and drop it in the tank-the fish love peas and it helps this problem,it's like they have wind and the pea aides digestion etc.
