Answer
Hi Vanessa;

Your little tank is just too small for more than one goldfish.  If any of your fish are still alive, change 50% of the water every day until they feel better. Find new homes for all but one and it should be fine. Here is a link to info about goldfish and what they need;

If your tank wasn't set up for very long it was also trying to get through the break-in period. Here is a link to my own page about it;
