Wait.... you mean you house 3 goldies in 30 gal. ???30 gallon tank with a good carbon filter
These three have been together for over a year. The reason they are in a 30 gal is because they were originally outside in a water trough because my mom thought that they would keep it clean and "eat the algae". I bought the tank with my own money when it became cold because I didn't want them to freeze outside. I have never seen harassment from any of them towards anyone else, and they seem happy. I'm sorry I can't provide more for them, really I am, but I'm sure there are worse conditions for goldfish to live in. I don't meant to sound argumentative, but I am doing the best I can for them and I'm really torn up about Pudge's death.Wait.... you mean you house 3 goldies in 30 gal. ???
Poor goldies. They should (must) have 30 gal. per goldie...
If you're absolutely sure of your parameters and waterchanges, the reason why your fish is is so bad state is stress, because of serious lack of space to escape other fishes harassment.
Thank you Colin. What type of plant matter do you recommend I give them? I am currently fasting them for three days because from what I've been reading I have been overfeeding them by a lot, which I know can cause swim bladder. Once the fast is done, I am planning on giving them steamed peas to help their stomachs.Make sure the fish get lots of plant matter in their diet.
We had a member, Deanasue, who knew a lot about goldfish and she said fantails need 20 gallons for the first fish, then 10 gallons per additional fantail fish. So if you have 2 remaining fantails, the 30 gallon tank is adequate.The trough is 400 gallons, without a filter or any way of aeration with the exception of rainfall. I am a younger teenager, and a novice fish keeper. I cannot get a bigger tank, so what can I do to help my remaining fish in the conditions that they are currently in?
My two remaining are both double tails, but not butterflied like my deceased one.

She also said that single tail goldfish like comets need 100 gallons so if you have those I recommend putting them in the outdoor trough. If it is 2.5 feet deep or more, they can survive freezing but you would need to keep a hole in the ice to allow for gas exchange. Most people use a floating heater to keep a hole in the ice.
I will upload pics when I have a few minutes to get some good onesStill no pics ?
