puzzled about my goldfish swimbladder thing...

JOHN,

After you have tried everything that everyone has suggested and the fish is
still floating it is probably hereitary. I had a Ryukin that gave my family
six years of enjoyment and companionship, but one morning I came in to feed
my fish and it was floating upside down. The following Spring I put it
outside in the and check on it in the Fall when I usually bring fish in and
it was swimming like nothing ever had happened. I brought the fish inside
(my water parameters are excellent virtually all the time) and by next
Spring it was floating again. I put it outside in early Spring and it
passed away that summer.

Floating in round bodied fish is always a problem and some are just going be
affected as though someone has turned on a switch. If nothing you do
corrects the problem or it does for a brief time, it is probably a good time
to think about disposing of the fish and moving on, and you certainly don't
want to breed it, because you will just be passing on the problems.

Sorry to tell you this, but some problems just can't be fixed.
