i am not a qualified as many peopel on this forum but, if im not mystaken, they are not stressed when they are swiming (semi active, if they are darting around thats bad), and have their dorsal fin up, eating regularly and have been in the esablished tank for a while.... What i think might be your problem might be watter parameters,(get a test kit, it should be fine though if you have other goldfish in it), or that your fish might be teritorial, so what you can do is move the gravel and plants or what ever so they don't have the teritory anymore ya know, its a quick solution to territorial issues, or it could just take time for your new fish to aclamate to the watter, ph and type of food, just be patient, and do a little reaserach in the diagonisis of diease section of this site you should find everything you need....
hope that helped
Cheers
