8 or 9 gallons is much to small for even one shubunkin. They can grow to more than 1 foot in size. they really should have a pond to live in. I can't really read your post because it is poorly spelled, but have you cycled your tank? If not, I suggest you read this and this

What are your water parameters?

No more fish for that tank and you should be aware that a 9g tank is too small for even a single angel fish or a single shubunkin. Period.

If you continue to put those fish in that tank you will continue to lose them, You eithre need to make different stocking choices or find a much larger tank.

BTW, Angel fish are tropical fish and require warm water. GF are cold water fish and do not, I would recommend you research further stock purchases be fore getting them to avoid more losses.
