I have a 29 gallon tank with a 55 gallon external power filter, air bubbler, 2" natural colored gravel, rock hideouts, and plastic plants. It has 3 2" fantail goldfish currantly, from nose to tip of tail. I just tested the water and it was very acidic and alklanik. I added some buffers and did a 25 percent water change. It had zero nitrite, but a caution level nitrate. I found a water/cleaner soaked wash cloths on top of my filter box, and suddenly my one/ maybe two fish are sick. The first being my smallest fish Claire. She has not developed a pot belly shape yet and has been hovering at the surface of the tank for a few days now, but has had a normal appetite. They get fed twice a day with tetra goldfish flakes. Her fins are sometimes clamped and she has developed some red spots on her stomach. The bigger one is on the right size and is a about a circular cm wide/big. The scales in that spot are a light gold/white and are rimmed with red. When her fins are near her body they appear
