Sounds like Columnaris which is a absolute nasty disease. If left untreated it will decimate a tank very quickly. The best and safest cure I found was Jungle's Fungus Clear.

I just looked it up and there isn't fungus or anything just pretty much the mouth missing

Columnaris does not always show cotton like fungus...google mouth rot to find info regarding the disease. Trust me I lost over twenty fish last year with a battle from this.

Mouth rot. I had this happen to one of my rainbows. It's mouth was slowly rotting away. I was able to successfully treat it with pimafix and melafix in a QT.
