Goldfish put off an inordinate amount of waste for their size, and usually do better at temperatures close to 70 degrees or below. Bristlenose need 78 or so to be happy. Goldfish also have very long digestive tracts that can get blocked if they are fed food with protein levels that are high and not enough veggie matter. You say your water parameters are fine, but what exactly are the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings? All of those answers will give us a much better chance of helping you to determine if there's a problem. The sticky in this forum is honestly there for a reason.
