Attached are some photos, i see on the white fish that a black indented dot on face has gotten bigger, could this be a clue as to what might be wrong with other one too? Please let me know if you got these okay, i dont know if i sent them right!

if this is what he eats bubbles for , how do i fix this problem? where you state, *fish being unable to assimilate oxygen properly due to toxins or gill damage*

This part you said,more indicative of a fish being unable to assimilate oxygen properly due to toxins or gill damage. how can they get gill damage if i never introduced any live plants, food or other fish?? I will try to get a pic for you, i was doing more reading, i jsut read that one sign of...

No his scales are not looking like pinecone, not at all, it looks some like they refer to in supersaturation, or i read about clumnaris, He dont act sick only that he floats, more like constipation, is is possible to get parasites if inever introduced new fish or plants or live food, Does anyone...

I heard that too, but it is working, I have one more question, with this going on for a month, should i medicate, I know the fish is defacating now and still sits at top, i dont know what to look for now, i dont see any marks, the scales are not bloated but do look a bit bumpy, from under neath...

When you explained what brine shrimp is, and said you would stick to this, did you mean stick to using the brine shrimp or using veggies, Sorry i have been confused with all the reading i do!! Is brine shrimp safe for fish everyday?
