I would create a new tread regarding this. More people will be able to help you. What's your water's parameters?

I don't know! I only know that I have a 100 litre tank and the degrees are 26C that is what we measure our temperature in South Africa! I am fairly new to this new fish hobby and would like some advise?

This sounds like a classic case of Septicemia.

I've had my best survival rate by treating with trisulfa fish meds. It is widely available in the US under many brands, but it is almost always labeled Trisulfa.

Treat all of the fish in the tank.

Follow the package directions carefully, as different manufacturers have different instructions.

What size tank do you have, and what numbers of each type are in it btw?
