It seems that Wiggles and Kibbles (my goldfish) are suffering from fin rot. Wiggles' tail is especially getting damaged.
I'm having a hard time finding how to cure it. Most of the information I found said that it is usually caused by problems with water quality. I tested the water and aside from the pH being a bit high (around 7.8) and the water being a little bit hard (KH of 60mg/L and GH of 100mg/L) it seems fine (no nitrite or amonia).
I might try to get some aquarium salt and see if that helps. I really want to avoid using antibiotics except as a last resort.
Does anyone have experience with fin rot? Any suggestions for treatments?
