I had a large 4 year old pleco he was my baby and in 3 days he went from swimming fine to fungus like crazy than bleeding to dead. I have a 65 with 1 marble molley one rainbow shark 3 sword tails(2 also died). My water tested good other that a small amount of nitrite I was treating. But my question now is how do I get this unknown disease out of my tank to get more fish?!?
 
Sounds like a fungus. You need to look into fungus treatments. I'm sure a more experienced aquarist can recommend some remedies.

What's your PWC schedule? What do you use to test the water? If strips, they are quite inaccurate and I would suggest getting the API Freshwater Master Test Kit to perform proper readings.

Hope I helped!
 
I'm treating them with pimafix. My rainbow shark nd the last sword tail are in the exact second to last stages. They huddle UN the corner together. Why did the beggest fish get so sick??
