Your tank looks like it may be overstocked.
 
Sounds like your goldfish is suffering from cloudy eye which causes a white cloudy eye, sometimes a swelling sort of bubble look to the eye as well as general unwell behavior such as lethargy.
 
It can be treated with meds but can also be treated with pristine water (I noticed you have some ammonia on your results which can cause cloudy eye) and be healed in about 2 weeks.
 
Yeah there's not as many fish in there know iv had some of my old fish pass away tank is cleaned on a regular basis and none of my other fish have got it do you know what meds i myt need and could it be an injury because before he went ill he was attacking my smaller fish i just thought he picked on the wrong fish and they snapped back just a thought
