 Oh, you have a case of fin rot on your hands, which is a bnacterial infection that can also develop into a fungus. go right away to a petstore and ask them what the best medication is for fin rot. i have used some stuff called melafix which worked wonders, and it won't mess up the biological filter, so it is pretty safe to use. i would also add somee salt just as a precaution, about one tablespoon per 5 gallons.
 BTW, props on keeping a healthy goldfish bowl- this is hard to do for more than a month!
