Newbie Raising Goldfish - Am I Doing Something Wrong Which I Don't Know About?

I think y'all missed that 2 of the goldfish were "isolated" (to me this means removed to a hospital tank). Please reas this article on ICH http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39759 the entire tank needs to be treated. Even with no visible white spots, ich can live in your tank as long as thier are fish in it. But really, the "mabey someday Ill upgrade whn they are 6 inches" shows us you really dont care for the fish, despite all everyone has told you.

You shouldn't even have ONE goldfish in a ten gallon. They ARE overscrowded, whether or not they show it. PLEASE be considerate to the fish and find or buy a new, larger home for them.

You also need to get the pleco out of the tank. They love to suck on the slime coat of the GF's and can make them very sick. I would see if I could get those fish a new home if you don't plan on housing them properly. Maybe you could set up a small outdoor pond?
