i am not saying your tap wayer is bad. Just suggesting that you check it. You could have indroduced fish that were already carrying something. The fish could have made each other sick. If you are using carbon, how old is it? What foods are you feeding?
Is it clean? Are you washing your hands before doing anything with your tanks or equipment? If you are not clean, you could be the problem as well. Mix Metro with your food..it comes in powder form. The enemies you are fighting can be biological, viral or parasitic. Hard to say, but you have to use water and food as your weapons, as these items can be traced directly to you. Remember to remove carbon when dosing meds, increase O2 saturation and temp as well as more frequent water changes. Don't add any new fish and get the basic meds. General cure is a broad spectrum treatment, but must be combined as a part of water changes until the problem is eliminated. A de-wormer is also a good idea. The easiest and fastest remedy is improved water quality through frequent water changes and consistency. For example, i do water changes 3X per week at 40 gallons (120 total) each for my Discus tank and have had excellent results. Remember that fish care and tank maintenance go hand in hand and can not be ignored. One has a direct effect on the other.
Good Luck!
