My goldie looks weak, and she was always loaded with energy and riding
the bubbles. She's resting a lot now.
Also, my other goldie and my guppy look weak, and are resting, too!
So far, my Gourami looks alright.
Yesterday, I added 1 corycat to each tank to clean the tanks.

For the size tanks you have and the type of fish in them they are
grossly overloaded. Adding "fish or other critters" to clean a tank is
foolhardy to say the least as they do not take the place of a human or
take over for proper feeding practices and fish keeping husbandry.
Corys may eat a few pieces of food, but far from being capable of
keeping any tank the way it should be. Do your self a favor, get rid
of the goldies and stay tropicals or gewt rid of the tropicals and
stay goldies, and what ever you do get a larger tank, as the ones you
have are just to small as others have also previously stated as well.

Disaster on the horizon from overcrowding. The Gourami for now looks ok
because of the breathing apparatus he has. Your goldfish will likely expire
from overcrowding.

Yep, Gourami are labryinth type fish and rarely ever succumb to oxygen
deficient water. They normally die from other things associated with
bad conditions..............Overcrowding also leads to oxygen
deficieint water as well as overlaoding form pathogens and such that
come about due to overcrowded conditions.
