[Ice.Maiden]

Well you've got to treat them right, haven't you?

[Buenchico]

It's amazing what you can learn from watching QI ;-)

According to Stephen Fry (and the QI elves) a lot of people flush their goldfish down the loo because they're floating on their sides and assumed to be dead. (Yours seems to be well on the way to 'acting dead'). The cause of the problem is, apparently, over-feeding. The solution, as cited by Mr Fry, is simply to starve the fish for about 3 days and it should return to full health.

well thank you chris i will starve ma gf :)

and yeah i have thrown away alot gf before i realised that seeming to be dead is not always being dead oops

[tamborine]

RSPGF knocking soon. You dont stroke fish 'cause the scales will burn. Dont over feed either. Your neighbours will moan at all the callers knocking soon.

[Ice.Maiden]

Well anyone can make a mistake eh?
