Answer
Hi Chris,
 Unfortunately that is really hard for me to say.   I assume from your message that you have an air pump providing oxygen into the tank and some sort of filter to keep the water clean.  Are you doing regular weekly water changes?  You need to be changing about 25% of the water once a week, every week, to keep your fish happy and healthy.
