Hope this helps
My strongest suggestion to you is to take a bucket and make a temporary home, completely wash out your tank, bare bones it and make dividers to better manage your ability to see any oddities in your separate species, maybe that could help. In my honest opinion it sounds like you have a spiral algae bloom, or maybe you're overdoing chemicals and under doing water changes. If your tank wasn't completely cycled with good bacteria you could definitely have those symptoms with your fish from the plants when the tank is darkened. Read up on the havoc that plants CAN cause if you're not careful....
