I have a 75 gallon aquarium that has been established for about 3 months. I have slowly built up to 12 assorted cichlids. I've done regular water changes and have not been overfeeding. About a week and a half ago, I noticed a little but of ich showing itself on one of my fish. I raised the temp to 84 and started daily treatment with marina no-ich. A few days after that, other developed popeye and I noticed another with patchy scales. I started using maracyn to help with the infestation. I've been medicating and doing daily water changes for over a week and the situation is only getting worse. I had a blue lobster in the tank, but transferred him to another tank because I think he was stressing them out. I've lost 2 cichlids already and the others are loosing their vibrant color and beginning to get dull. Blacks are turning to grays, neons just don't pop anymore. Most of them are flashing and showing signs of discomfort. Some have fuzzy lips or spots. A few others seem perfectly fine. What can I do to remedy this situation before I have any more casualties? Help please!
