Dear Anita:

I would a try some anti-parasitic, protozoan medication. Take out your
charcoal. Then do a big water change a couple days, and repeat the
medication. Do not add fish at this time! That will only complicate the
issue, and possibly get them infected, or they will infect your already
weakened fish with something new, possibly. Wait until things are stable
first.

3 schools . . . <sigh>
