Welcome to the site, and hope you can find the answers you need.

As said above goldfish are a cooler water fish. They will eat plants, that is one of their favorite foods. Also with that many goldfish you have a lot of waste being produced. How often do you do water changes? With gold fish I would suggest 20% a couple of times a week making sure its dechlorinated and the same temp.

What kind of tests do you use. Liquid or strips? Strips are usually not accurate in my opinion. Can you give us readings for ammonia, nitrite and nitrates. It will make it easier for us to give better advice.
