Even if your nitrate levels are down, your ammonia, nitrite or PH levels could be off. You can't just depend on one water quality measurement - you need to keep an eye on all factors.
If they're keeping in one area, the O2 level in the tank might be low or temperature may be too hot. Cooler water is at the bottom. Any time your fish start behaving abnormally, water quality should be your first concern. You should check PH, nitrite and ammonia levels first. Usually ammonia levels are down when nitrite and nitrate is down, but that's not always the case. Ammonia levels can build up rapidly if someone dumps in too much food for example and the excess isn't cleaned out. Nitrite takes time to be converted to Nitrate, so if you're just monitoring for Nitrate you could miss higher Nitrite levels.
Ammonia is more toxic in higher PH water, which is why salt water tanks are so important to monitor constantly - even a small amount of bacteria can kill most fish in a salt tank as the PH is much higher in a salt tank.
Usually if they're in one spot, it's an area where there's good water flow, meaning better O2 content and filtered water right out of the filter. O2 is mixed into the tank water by surface water action, which mixes the O2. Wind in nature is how ponds and lakes get it. If you have tank with low surface agitation, your O2 content will be lower. In the end though, it still a matter of water quality.
Your type of filter is always a factor as well. If you have the kind of filter where you throw away the carbon media, they're essentially worthless. Aerobic bacteria (no, they don't jog) form in filter media, and it takes time for it to build. When you use throwaway filters, you throw away the bacteria that's cleaning your water.
Get the kits you need to check your water properly. While they might seem expensive, they're nothing compared to the cost of a tank full of sick or dead fish. Learn how to use them.
You should do a partial water change if they start acting abnormally, but without testing the water you'll never know what the root cause of the water quality problem is. Make sure you're using dechlorinated water also - chlorine kills bacteria.

Why is the goldfish sitting at the bottom but still energetic if you get close to it?
Because it is afraid of you it try to escape that's why it's so energetic
What happens when silver nitrate is added to carbon tetrachloride?
When silver nitrate is added to carbon tetrachloride, the silver nitrate will not dissolve as it is insoluble in carbon tetrachloride. The two substances will remain separate, with the silver nitrate forming a precipitate at the bottom of the container.
About 88g of sodium nitrate dissolves in 100 g of water at 20 is this solution saturated or unsaturated what would happen if you added ten more grams of sodium nitrate to the solution after you added?
The solution is saturated at 20°C since 88g of sodium nitrate can dissolve in 100g of water. If you add an additional 10g of sodium nitrate, it will exceed the solubility limit at 20°C, causing the excess sodium nitrate to form a precipitate at the bottom of the solution.
The fill handle is located on the border of the active?
It will be on the bottom right corner of the border of the active cell if one cell is selected. If more than one cell is selected, then it will be at the bottom right corner of the selected area.
What is an active work sheet?
An active sheet is the worksheet you currently are accessing.
How do you make saturated potassium nitate solution?
To make a saturated potassium nitrate solution, add potassium nitrate (KNO3) to distilled water at room temperature until no more of the salt will dissolve, leaving some undissolved salt at the bottom of the container. Stir the solution well during the process to aid in dissolving the salt.
Why is one of your pet mice less active then the others?
It could be ill, pregnant, or at the bottom of the social order.
How will you prepare a supersaturated solution of potassium nitrate in water?
To prepare a supersaturated solution of potassium nitrate in water, you would first dissolve an excess amount of potassium nitrate in hot water, stirring continuously until no more of the salt can dissolve. Then, let the solution cool slowly without disturbing it, which will allow the excess salt to form crystals at the bottom, creating a supersaturated solution above it.
What is the difference between sheet tabs and worksheets?
A worksheet contains columns, rows and cells and is where you do your work. Each worksheet has a name. You can have more than one worksheet in a workbook. Each worksheet has a tab at the bottom of the screen, with its name on it. This is a sheet tab. It allows you to identify the different worksheets and by clicking on a sheet tab, you can change from one worksheet to another.
What do poppers mean on craigslist?
