my tank has been set up for 3 weeks (i know) and here are all the stats i can get
ph-7
temp-81
ammonia- .02


the last fish that died had half of his body turn brown and ich on his eyes and fins

the remaining 2 are a flame dwarf gourami and a dojo loach

gourami has one spot of ich on his eyes and on both of his fins

dojo has a BIG white spot on his face and ich on his left side.

please please please help me i dont want a dead tank! :-(
 
Water changes 50% twice daily and bump the temp up (slowly) a couple of degrees.

The Ich is probably a secondary infection after exposure to ammonia, certainly the darkening of the body sound like ammonia burn.

The only thing you can do is get the water pristine and the filter cycled - hope for the best.

Do not get any more fish - if these 2 die (and sadly they might) then sterilise your tank and start again cycling fishlessly.

If they survive (I hope they do) then wait at least 4 illness free weeks before adding anything else.

By the way, the weather loach is a cool water species and will not do well at highter temps - more info here -
