I don't think your problem is lack of oxygen. Goldfish are basically a 
variety of carp - which are well known to be able to survive in low 
oxygen waters. Heck when I was a kid I kept a pair of gold fish in an 
aquarium that was really a gallon Plumrose pickled sausage jar with a 
six-inch opening at the top. They did well - with no pump or any other 
aids in oxygenating the water.

An open rain barrel should be fine - unless it is a wooden barrel and 
there is something leaching from the wood that is offing your fish.

      Title: Crab Stuffed Shrimp w/Tomato Butter & White Bean Relish
 Categories: Emeril, Seafood
      Yield: 4 servings
 
      2 c  White Bean Relish
      1 tb Unsalted butter
    1/4 c  Fine minced onions
    1/4 c  Fine minced celery
    1/4 c  Fine minced green bell
           - peppers
      2 tb Fine minced red bell peppers
      1 tb Minced garlic
      4 ts Emeril's Creole Seasoning
      1 ts Salt
      4    Turns fresh ground pepper
      1 lb Lump crabmeat; picked over
           - for shells and cartilage
      1 lg Egg
    1/4 c  Fresh grated Parmesan Cheese
      1 tb Creole or other whole-seed
           - Mustard
    1/4 c  Bread crumbs
     16 lg Shrimp; peeled except for
           - the tails & butterflied
  1 1/2 c  Tomato Butter
           Chopped green onions
 
  Prepare the White Bean Relish, and set aside.  Preheat the oven to
  375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.  Melt the
  butter in a medium skillet over high heat. Add the onions, celery,
  green and red bell peppers, garlic, 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning, 1/2
  teaspoon salt, and the pepper, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
  crabmeat and toss gently, taking care not to break up the crabmeat
  lumps, for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for
  3 to 4 minutes.
  
  Whisk the egg in a large bowl, and stir in the mixture from the
  skillet. Stir in the Parmesan, mustard, and bread crumbs. Makes 2 1/2
  cups. Allow to cool a minute, then shape loosely into 16 balls, using
  about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture for each ball.
  
  Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining 2 teaspoons Creole Seasoning,
  and use your hands to coat them thoroughly. Press one ball of
  stuffing into the cavity of each shrimp and arrange the shrimp on the
  baking sheet. Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon
  salt. Bake until brown, for about 10 minutes, and remove from the
  oven.  Prepare the Tomato Butter and warm the White Bean Relish.
  
  To serve, spread a generous 1/3 cup of the Tomato Butter in each of 4
  dinner plates. Mound 1/2 cup of the White Bean Relish in the center,
  arrange 4 shrimp around the relish, and sprinkle green onions around
  the plate.
  
  Yield: 4 main-course servings
