The owner took his ailing fish to Toll Barn Veterinary Centre in North Walsham where vets told him it was constipated and an operation would cost about £300.
Vet Faye Bethell used anaesthetised water to knock out the goldfish before removing the blockages.
"At the end of the day they're all pets and everybody does have a commitment to their pet," Miss Bethell said.
"[The goldfish] was constipated because he had a lump blocking his bottom, rather than because of his diet or any other reason," she said.
