Look close if they have ich..(for ich I have a different cure with no medicine). otherwise what has worked for me is Formaldehyde 15%.. be careful and follow directions. Never experienced the Yawning? What I also observed is that in one of my tanks the fish always seem (at one time or another) to scratch but, They breed and grow and I never had any breakdown or fish die...who knows?.. we all know that parasites are always present in our water..I guess if the fish are healthy and not stressed out they don't seem to get seriously affected. That's my two cents.
