We have 2 goldfish, 1 orange and 1 white. 20 gallon Eclipse Tank. They are about 2 yrs old and were doing fine until today. Today the white one turned red near the head (see photo) and acting very listless at the bottom of the tank. Ammonia levels are in the safe range. The orange one seems unaffected and is keeping the white one company, sometimes nibbling at the white one. The white one looks like he is about to die! I need your help guys, my son is going to be devastated if something happens!

i agree with what someone else said, that could be septicemia.
also, there is no "safe range" for ammonia, there's zero, and anything more than zero is damaging to fish.

sounds like a disease called septicemia that i have never seen before -- can't find a picture on the internet either. from what i can find your best bet if it is septicemia is treat the fish (i would treat the tank and other fish too even though most people say don't treat healthy fish) use a combination of maracyn and maracyn2.
