So a week ago I moved "Goldy", my 4 year old's fantail from a 3.5 gal to a 20H. Everything seemed fine until she started sitting on the bottom. This morning she looked bad and I was paranoid about the possibility of a second cycle despite seeding the tank with filter media from another and transferring gravel and decorations. As I didn't have time to test before work I did a quick 25% water change and threw in a bottle of Dr. Tims I hadn't used on another new tank. Finally got home to test and it looks good? Any advice would be appreciated, not too knowledgeable of goldfish issues.
Thanks.

Here's Goldy in her current state.

If she gets any worse, I would euthanise her. I know it's sad to say, but it would stop any suffering. I recommend Clove Oil :(

The stress of the move may have meant her immune system broke down and she may have something else going on. I wouldn't give up on her whack a general tonic medication in there that fights a lot of bacterial infections in case she has something that's not visible
 
Also Are you sure she is 4years old she is very small. I have a 2year old black moor and he is already 8-9inches long
 
Yeah, unfortunately, she didn't make it through the weekend. Managed to get a replacement while my daughter was in school. Goldy 2: Electric Boogaloo doesn't look close, but luckily my daughter hasn't noticed.

I'm sorry to hear that :(
