My Goldfish are dying and I just bought them this morning. They are skirting the surface of the water and it looks like they are gasping for air. Why are they dying?

Hi,
Very sorry to hear about your problem with the new
goldfish. Before I can help you I need a little bit of information. How long has your tank been
running? Are these goldfish the 1st fish you have put in the tank? What size is the tank, ie 10 gallons, 20-gallons etc etc.
Do you have a filter and air pump installed?
The sooner you get back to me the quicker I'll be able to help you. I'll do my best to try and resolve this.
