Help!! What's Happening To My Fish?

They also seem like they have tiny bubbles on their skin..

 

1. The tank is WAY WAY WAY to small. Better pictures will help. Also what are the water parameters?

 

I'm not sure I see much wrong. It could be velvet, probably not pineconing though. Can you give some indie about the tank?

Size? (I can't really see in the photo, but it looks EXTREMELY small)
Stocking?
Water quality?

Sorry I'm a noob fish owner I do not have any water parameter measurers. (I really should get them)

Also the small goldfish has turned silver, do you know any causes for that?

 

I don't see any tiny bubbles or anything, I do notice they are sitting at the bottom not doing much. This is indicative of stress and poor water quality. Get those goldfish in a 40 gallon at the very minimum.

 

The way that your fish are sitting on the bottom makes me think that they either have ammonia/nitrite/nitrate poisoning or SBD. What does their diet consist of? Goldfish should be fed mostly plant matter and frequent high-fibre foods like blanched, skinned frozen peas.

I'd recommend getting a 75 gallon tank if they are fantail goldfish. I also highly recommended getting a test kit to make sure the water isn't literal poison.

 

Sometimes goldfish are silver naturally.

You NEED to get a MUCH larger tank. The kind of goldfish you have require a larger tank. It looks like you have 4 goldfish, so a 55 gallon would be the bare minimum, but a 75G or larger would be a lot better. Goldfish get huge and need a lot of space, as well as great filtration. IMO you should always research your pet's living requirements before buying it.

Seems like there is a singletail in there too- which realistically means 100+ gallons. I was just trying to reason with the OP, because any tank is better than what they are in now.

 

How long have they been in there?

And what are your water change schedule?

Goldfish have a large bioload so in that size tank you need to do frequent water changes.

Could be ammonia burn too. I don't think you can sustain them in there even if you change the water twice a day. Rough. That's like a 5 gallon with 5 decent size fish laying on the bottom with clamped fins. I don't need to see test evidence to expect ammonia is an issue.

 

There's 5 goldfish in there... It's not their main tank is it? If it is then that's the issue. Some look like they have ammonia burn as well

 

Hello. Welcome to fishlore.
Unfortunately everybody is right. But for immediately, vac the bottom of the tank to get uneaten food and poo out. 50% water change with dechlorinated water. If you use Prime, dose for the amount of water in the tank. See if you can get some methylene blue and aquarium salt ASAP. Until you get the bigger tank, you can expect to do daily water changes. Once you’ve got the methylene blue, follow the directions on the bottle for baths. You’ll want a separate container for this. Storage tubs are great. Dollar tree or dollar general. How long have you had these guys?

Well if this just happened this afternoon, those goldfish might not see sunrise again

I think this has been building day by day. Someone will still be alive. Especially if the OP at least did the water change. I can hope.
