Bacterial infections like fin rot, mouth rot or body sores can make the fish rot.
If the fins begin to get cloudy or milky and begin to rot, use a 0.3% salt solution into the tank.
If the mouth begins to rot, this is usually caused by a parasite but also occurs from an overstocked tank. Remove the goldfish and place it in a more spacious environment and swab its lesions with hydrogen peroxide and inject it with an antimicrobial.
Use the 0.3% salt solution and hydrogen peroxide on the body sores.
