I think what people are having trouble with is understanding how there could not have a been a single occasion in the time you had 15 goldfish, probably the most notoriously waste heavy fish there is in what is seen as a relatively small volume of water for these creatures where the ammonia levels were uncontrolled. Unless you were testing and replacing water from day one nobody in the hobby performing the same actions would be able to say with any degree of certainty that there wasn’t an episode or occasion of elevated ammonia levels. Particularly in the early stages of set up.
Disease is a possibility, no denying that but I think it’s your reluctance to agree that the possible effects of ammonia toxicity may be beginning to take their toll.
Having said that. The fish are small, its not impossible to keep water parameters under control with very good tank maintenance.
So if you you can hand on heart say ammonia toxicity is an absolute impossibility then it sounds like a disease brought in by the fairground fish.
