It sounds like ich to me. I had the problem a little while ago, white spots and fins "clamped" at their sides (untill feeding, just like yours). I turned up the heat, put some meds in there, and within a week it was gone. I did loose 6 neon tetra's and an angelfish to it though. My other friends did survive. It appears that you have goldfish, therefor no heater? If you don't have a heater (don't require one for goldfish), then other than meds, I don't know what you could do. Perhaps someone who has more experience with goldfish could help.

Dont add more than what is said on the bottle. It WILL burn the gills of the fish. Dont overdose, you will induce putting them to sleep...literally........forever.....I did it when I had ick in my tank. Just make sure you follow the instructions to the T, or else you will do more harm than good.
