What temperature is your tank at?
Comet goldfish sort of hibernate during the winter. We have some in our outdoor pond and they live through snowstorms and their pond icing over because of that.
It sounds like yours are just sick, though.

How many gallons is the bio-orb? How long have these fish been in there? How long has the tank been set up? What is the temp, ph, nitrate, nitrite & amonia levels?

The Comet and Shubunkin get very large and need a lot of room it could be there simply over crowded.

If they are getting sick that could be the issue- or it could be a combination of both (this is what I am thinking). What are you treating the white spot with?
