Story of my Angel fishes, need help

I bought angel fishes two, two days ago. I kept them along with two gold fishes at first. I noticed that gold fishes are creating a mess and pushing Angels and Angles were falling. I did my home work on DuckDuckGo and learned about Angel fishes that their native is african river with less water flow and warm environment. I took another bowl yesterday and re-designed the oxygen into two probes such that it gives less disturbance for angelfish bowl and more to gold one's and kept some shells which my dad collected when I was 10. I put some epsom salt and few drops of anti-chlorine, Paracidol and Aquatic healer. I put some warm water into the bowl even. They are coming up and swimming. Their gills don't flap fast as they were when no oxygen was there so I assume it's not about oxygen. I don't know what to do. One of the fish is falling on to the side and coming up. it's doing the since half an hour. I don't want them to starve and die. I kept pellets and even dry shrimp but they won't eat anything.

OMG!

I'm sorry I almost thought this was a joke.

Are those their permanent homes?

Were they all living together in one bowl? Bowls are completely unsuitable for any fish (unless they are big enough to be filtered), especially not Anglefish or Goldfish. I'm in so much shock I'm not even sure where to begin...

Do you have a place that you could rehome your fish at? Your LFS (local fish store) Both the fish you are keeping need far bigger tanks (30 plus for both of those species) and are not suitable together AT ALL. I would rehome them ASAP as its going to be hard to try help them through whatever their going through when their living conditions are less than ideal. Please always do research before deciding to become responsible for a living thing as it's a huge responsibility to take on and you need to know as much as possible beforehand. Fish cannot live in bowls, and Angelfish need a heater to stay healthy. Both of these fish need a filter to ensure that they don't get killed by their own waste, and they need far more swimming room than a tiny bowl that could only hold a few snails.
Your angelfish look incredibly beat up and will probably kill eachother in a space as small as that because they can become incredibly territorial and aggressive.

these fish can not be in bowls, like said above! and if you are going to keep these fish they must be in separate tanks, gold fish are cold water fish, and angels are warm water fish (78-80 degrees). angels need 30+ gallons, and even more to be completely comfortable. and goldfish can be in smaller tanks. but take them out of there asap.
