Default Help needed to identify fish disease

Hi All,

I wonder if someone could help me - I have just returned from a 2 week
vacation to discover my goldfish (who were being fed by a friend)
have become diseased.

The fish themselves are black moors and fantails and the symptoms are
as follows:

White ragedy edging on the tails
White cotton wool like coating on the eyes
General all over opalescence on the black moors
Dorsal fin laying down along the back rather than erect
Generally lethargic and miserable looking

They are, however, still feeding.

I'm not sure if it's finrot, fish fungus, velvet disease, white eye
disease or a combination of all the above. I can't seem to find any
good photo's on the net of fish disease.

If you can identify the problem from my description, what should I
treat it with (UK known brands would be helpful)

Many thanks in advance

David
