Your tanks severely overstocked.
For all those fish you need a 100 gallon tanks with a 200 gallon filter.

If yuo can't get a larger tank I would rehome the goldfish.

What test kit are you using.

The lump on the tail does it look like a cauliflower.
Does the lump look hard or soft like filled with fluid.
Any redness to the lump.
Does the lump look smooth.

All you can do is try a bacterial med.

Cauliflower looking lumps, smooth lump, cluster of egg shaped growths can be lymthocystis.
It's viral.
