The best way to avoid swim bladder issues in goldfish is to not feed them “tropical” fish food. Goldfish specific foods tend to be higher in fiber and help avoid the problem. My goldfish also enjoy finely diced melon, oranges (removed from the membrane) and cooked spinach.

I had a friend that had a goldfish that was about 20 years old. It was about 6 or 7 inches long. After all that time, it jumped out of the tank and died.

I had a goldfish that lived to be 8 years old. It would float on the top for a day or two, or sink to the bottom, but then it would be fine. I’m positive my parents didn’t replace it because we wanted it to die more than they did.

A 45 year old goldfish? Yeah, ok. And there was only one Lassie. i think Goldie’s owner just has extra stealthy parents who good at replacing pets.
