Your fish it starving. Its way to skinny. You have to feed it more. Try feeding it 2 - 3 times a day. Always feed it as much as it can eat in 2 - 3 minutes. Please replie if this answer helped in any way.

You are feeding way too little food to it, how much do you feed it? I bet you only feed it 1 meal a day.Well, fish are just like humans, you should feed them everyday and at least 2 or 3 times everyday, and if you don't, well then they'll eventually die.Also, you said that one of your fish just died, well I think that there are 3 possible reasons why one of them died,
(1)You have a way too small tank for your goldfish
(2)You feed them too little, just the same with all your fish I bet
(3)The fish lost scales or they had parasites on or in their body
I also want to tell you that you can go to a store near you,(I recommend a pet store for better Quality medicines)and find a medicine to cure your fish from the parasites
Good Luck!!!

Goldfish create much more waste that tropical fish, and therefore they need more water, or space, per fish. Most people overstock their tank, don't do partial water changes often enough, and they usually end up with water too high in nitrates. This often shows up as redness on the body or fins. They can tolerate this for short periods, but the stress will eventually kill them one at a time.
Just read up on the proper care of your fish and buy a good water testing kit. It is really not that hard. Good luck.

They may be having fungus or parasite. The common name for this kind of infestation is "ick", I think.
Look for other signs of infection: white dots, torn fins, deformed mouth, greyish slime. But maybe the broken blood vessels is the only sing they will get.
You can buy treatment drops or tablets at the same store where you bought the fish. This treatment is rather harmless. Try it.
You should buy it today, don't wait.

There are many species of fish that are transparent/translucent, and you are able to view the blood and internal organs. Is this maybe one of the types of fish you have?
