Hey guys so I have have had my goldfish for about two years now. It is a 20 gallon tank with other goldfish that I bought about three weeks ago. These past couple of days I have noticed him just sitting at the bottom of the tank and today he is floating sideways, seems out of it, he has a slight red scratch around his mouth( pls refer to picture attached) Nitrate is at 80(unsafe) Nitrite is at 1.0(stress) Hardness is 300(very hard) Chlorine is 0(safe) Alkalinity is 40(low) Ph is 7.2(neutral) Ammonia .5(safe). I Am thinking about doing a 20% water change, and change some parts of the filter. The other fish seem fine and no marks. Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks

Thank you all for ur help!
Thanks to you all for your input! I just did a 20% water change I can do 30%more. I am treating new water with Aqueon Water Conditioner, and was thinking of adding AmQual Plus Ammonia Detoxifier and aquarium salt(pls refer to picture)
I am also going to buy "Maracyn Two" fish medication, should I isolate him when treating him for this or treat the entire tank? Thanks pp
