I was not aware that only one goldfish should be put into a 10 gallon tank. The goldfish I had were only one inch. I clean the tank every weekend, I have four of them. I just checked the ph on my 55 gallon cichlid tank and it was also at 6.0. We finally got it up to 6.8. I don't know what could...

I would definitely use a vacuum on the gravel. I don't know if your fish will be ok or not. I would keep an eye on them.

It could also be fish tuberculosis. I had a danio with the same symptoms and that's what it turned out to be.
