The cause of dead; dropsy, a mystery illness that is still not understood yet. It causes the fish to bloat and it's scales to stick out from it's body and death soon follows after a few days. No one really know what causes this but I have had a few fishes died because of this disease before.
Now I've only got 5 fishes left in the tank, kinda think of it I'm not very good in keeping goldfishes! They keep dying on me! Oh I don't know what I've done wrong, the pH was right, water condition was good but they still die on me! Damn! Maybe I'll put plastic fishes in there from now on..

sorry to hear bout ur fish mate. maybe it died of old age.
argh my friend brought her goldie to the vet but also died..
sigh..
My sincere condolonces to you dude.
Goldie looks really 'gold' in colour.. very nice colour
Aww..I feel so sad for Goldie. I lurrrrve goldfishes too. I used to rear those lionheads and they too bloated and die. Old age, I think. I have an aquarium right next to my computer which my son reared Tetras but all kaputed. Now, hmmm..should I get another batch of goldies? Psst...For good fengshui, rear either 8 goldfishes plus ONE black one. The black one is supposed to ward off evil and absorbs your bad chi. LOL. Lillian Too said that, not me.
alex-tenkiu for ur concern but it's not old enuff to die yet, goldfish live a long life just not my goldfish..*SOB*

LOL!
condolence to u.
goldfish already well known for high maintenance or may b i should say it's sensitive and easy to die. Even u put all ur effort on it, it still *kuet*.
I used to have gold fishes. all die liao. so i start to have other kind of fish. tetra, Chicilid and even "sang yu".
u know who is the most "kengest" n dun need much attention? *jeng* *jeng* *jeng* *jeng* it's "sang yu". i still remember i didnt feed it for hmmm forget how long liao but i'm sure more than 3 months (cuz tat time i got many fishes n forget i got a sang yu at the bottom of the aquarim), it still havent die and still alive! hahaha until today it still with me but too bad others all died.
may b u should start to have sang yu la. kakaka
good luck dude :)
eh, you should try the aquarium screensavers. it's way cool and the fish don't die. no maintenance whatsoever and you can change fish at no cost.
sogua-tenkiu for ur condolence, apa itu "sang yu" wor? can u show me a pic of it? :)
alex allied-nah..don't like screensaver on my pc, my pc so old & slow liaw, wanna put screensaver somemore, damn slow down man! thanks for the suggestion anyway :)
awww....poor goldie :(
i hardly keep fishes as pet cos they never last longer than a week..my bad
:( I am sorry for your lost dude.
eh its bacterias and viruses that is why u hafta change 1/3 of the water once every 2 weeks to derease the numbers of accumulated bacterias or viruses. Also whenever you change water put abit of the disinfectant solutions into your tank also ....
