Hi

My goldfish is about ten months old and is gasping for air when my air pump is on and when its off it is fine , ,i have 1 large ornament in my tank it is a 24l tank , i got it 2 days ago and my fish yesterday.

Ok. Your tank wasn't cycled before the fish was added so you need to look up fish in cycling. You can find articles on this website.

24l isn't a big enough tank for a goldfish but you can deal with that later.
Goldfish are extremely messy fish and produce a lot of waste so water changes are going to be your best friend here. If you have an airstone/pump that will help as well.
