I thought this was a serious thread, but I'm beginning to wonder! Angela

OK then I'll explain anyway. Initially, we had medium gravel in our tank, and one of our goldfish got a piece of it stuck in his mouth. This produced movements looking very like hiccups. My OH had to manually get the gravel out of his mouth as the fish was becoming more distressed. It was always 'dive-bombing' the bottom of the tank, and still does it, in fact we call it 'Psycho'

Clap your hands, loudly, in his tank. The fright may stop his hic cups! Good luck. Beryl x
