It seems to b under control...I mean he still leans against the tank,but he seems ok otherwise...

Anothr thing which I have noticed (n it may only b in my head) is that whenver I feed him peas he is all happy n wags his tail n swims around....but when i go back to the food pellets he sulks.....

first how old is he because some fish get old just like every thing else and die and just weaken out and if it is a female it may be preganet or could have enjured his fin if he has not gotten better a few days latter call the vet and they should give u good advice

Hey, I wish I could help you out in this but I have never owned any goldfish.
Heidi and yasher gave you the best advice.
I do feed all my fish live food tho..... :)

when a fish wags its tail it means the fish is very happy

people may think you are crazy to think a fish can be happy...but believe me you, whenever a fish twitches its tail about, it is very happy...so keep feeding it peas

yes, when the fish wiggles its way up and down from side to side on the glass when the owner or someone the fish does not feel/sense threatened by - though it is usually means it wants food - also is a sign that the fish is pleased with what it is looking at

thanks stingray

In most cases when they do that it is indeed a sign that they want food......:D
