Answer
Yesha,                                                                  You didn't say how large the tank was. Anyway your problem is too much fish and not enough water. Remember your fish grow and as they grow they put out more ammonia. Especially goldfish. You can get a larger tank or maybe a second water change during the week.Doing too many water changes may stress them out if,but since they are used to once a week I think you will be fine.I would definitely think about a larger tank. Your water discoloring in a week and an odor too I am sure with your goldies is a definite sign of ammonia building up in your water. Good Luck....Tina
