Goldfish sick

One of my fantails is lying down on the gravel but not on his side. He is straight up and down. He is breathing very slowly and when I go near the tank he snaps out of it and when I move away he falls again.
The water is: nitrate 20 ppm
nitrite 0 ppm
hardness 50 ppm
Kh 50 ppm
ph 6.5

I would check the ammonia level. Is it time for a water change?

That ph seems really low.. My mil has some goldfish and the first thing I told her to do when one of hers got sick was to change the water... she ended up having to change the whole tank.. the sick one has perked up since and all is well in the tank now.

I changed 30 % of the water and he seems more active and isn't resting anymore. Later I'll start aiming for the 7.5 ph.
