goldfish is one of the toughest fish. It takes a lot for a goldfish to go belly up. Goldfish poops a lot, so you need to change water every 2 wks. High pH is an indication of amines in water. Either because there is too much waste accumulating in the tank, or there is not enough good bacteria in the tank, either way your tank is not in a equilibrium. there are couple of things you can do first and foremost important, don't overfeed your fish. new fish keepers almost always make mistake in overfeeding their fish. the excess uneaten food and waste generated from fish can foul your tank quickly. there are guidelines in how much you should feed for different fishes. so follow the guideline strictly and your fish won't die from starvation. secondly when you change your tank, use water conditioner which will remove chorines in the water. This is quite important because in my painful earlier fish keeping experience, I literally saw fish going belly up without adding conditioner, and improve right after I added it, thought some didn't make it at the end. Change half of the tank, so that the good bacteria for breaking down the waste is not changed out. try to vacuum out the waste in the gravels. you also need a water filter system which would help on the water quality. If you follow these, your water quality will improve in a wk or so
