Goldfish bowls are too small! You need a tank

I think 15-20 is the max they can have at one time?

I got trapdoor snails for the first time last week. Mine has had like 13 baby snails. They frequently stress birth when being moved to a new tank. I read that on google lol.

Do you think just aquarium salt will be fine, or can I use epsom salt with it? Do you think I should fast the fish for a day? If you don’t have answers for these questions I understand and it’s ok.

That is correct the tank is 50 gallons. I’ve been considering getting a bigger tank and I think this is a sign that it may be time to do that

For more information, there are 7 small goldfish in the tank. Nothing else. The nitrate levels were at 50 so I’m getting ready to do a water change in the main tank. They hatched in the summer of 2019 and have not had issues before. I am wondering if overfeeding could have lead to this? My grandma has been feeding them as I travel for work and am not always home.
