Maybe your tank is not properly filtered and its water is bad. Are you following the basic rules of fishkeeping. " 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. (A goldfish is a 10 inch fish) Every tank must have a permanently running 'cycled' filter. Every tank must have at least 50% of its water replaced every week.

What is a good bottom dweller for your goldfish tank?
I had an albino plecostomus hang out in the bottom of my goldfish tank. He thrived quite happily with my comet and fancy goldfish. The only thing you have to be careful about is the ammonia levels can't get too high. Adding an ammonia filter to your water filter can help reduce the levels, too. I also had to give him algae supplements every week or so because he kept eating all the algae that built up. If you don't mind another large fish to add to the tank, dojo fish are also good bottom feeders.
