Your pH was bouncing between 7 and 7.5? That's stressful to fish in general, and if you ask some, 7 isn't hard enough for goldfish. Do you mean 0 nitRITES and 20 nitRATES? If so, those numbers aren't bad. What size tank is it? What's your water change schedule like?

gold fish don't build nests and if there big enough to breed they should not be in anything close to a 29 gal tank a 100 gal is pushing its limits

They were 5. Inches and going in a pond in a day when the ye died and he was moving rocks around building a nest
