Tannins will not interfere with the oxygen. I'd allow surface movements considering the number of fish you have. Goldfish are large oxygen consumers.
How are the goldfish reacting to the situation, Jason? What are your pH and KH there? You could simply remove the wood if it is causing issues. A 200g tub should not be an issue for at least 10 comets especially as you have plenty of plants to keep the air, food and water quality under control.
I took the wood out right away because the fish were croaking,not like frogs either,so I took it out and did a water change and things got great until now with the green water,think the swamp thing is living in thier,i cant see through it good enough,afraid while Im looking the swamp thing is going to reach out and grab my throat.
maybe a 3rd,that was for the brown tannin water and to get new oxygenated water in fast because the fish were all gasping,now in the other thread Im dealing with the green water.
