Hello! I own two goldfish in a 10 gallon tank. I have had them for nearly a year without any issues. Yesterday, I noticed that one of the goldfish became very idle and sat at the bottom of the tank for most of the day. Today, it's irregular behavior continued and I noticed it was struggling to swim straight. I also performed a routine water change today, and after I changed the water I noticed my other goldfish started displaying similar symptoms as the first one. I have gotten busy and probably been cleaning the tank every other week rather than every single week, but the tank is clean now. I change out the filter, scrub the walls for allergy, clean the gravel, and change the water. I don't really have any ideas on how to help my goldfishes and right now they are both huddled together at the bottom corner of my aquarium barely moving at all. They are both having trouble swimming against even the power if the filter (meant for a 20 gallon tank), which they have never had trouble with before. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help my goldfishes.
Update: One goldfish is still moving, but floating on it's head on the bottom...
