Here’s some more info and other treatment options from… http://thegab.org/Articles/GoldfishIllness.html (See the actual website for a couple of pictures for comparison purposes.. 1/2 way down the page)
Finrot
Symptoms: Fast eroding fins (often tailfin). The fin tissue gets red and then sloughs off leaving the rays (which later break off). If you have clean white (non fuzzy) edges, keeping your water pristine should be all you need. In the pic below:
Treatment: Check your water parameters, vacuum well and do a partial water change. Clean the fin with 3% hydrogen peroxide and apply triple antibiotic creme. If that doesn’t stop the rot: Feed Medigold medicated food. If Medigold is not available use one of the following water antibiotics: Kanamycin, Spectogram, Maracyn 2 or Antibac. (Maracyn 2 is not compatible with Medigold). An alternate treatment (which should be done if any of the above methods are ineffective) would be to treat the fish with Tricide Neo dip.
