I Need Help And Quick

[fish-r-fancy]

Please help 2 of my gf died today and I found them sucked to the filter. I now notice that a couple of my gf have what appears to be raised white blotches on their tails and on their bodies. I can't give out any test results because i ran out of strips about a week ago and was never able to get new ones, i can't go to the lfs because it's closed. I have a 55 gallon tank that has been running for about a month. I have an aquaclear 70 and an aquatech 10-20 power filters. I change the water 25-50% a week. I have 11 gf in the tank 3 4-6 inche ones, 2 2 inche ones a 4 inch 1 and 5 1 inch ones. All of them are commons except one 1 inch 1 is a black moor. I only use water conditioner. About a week ago I added quick cure to the tank to cure ick. The tank is very well airated I have 2 12 inch bubble curtains, so the fish have plenty of air. Some of the fish have raised white blotches. No unuasul behavior. Somebody please help and quick. Thank you

Do a water change, and get your water tested at the lfs and tell them to write the readings down for you.
Stay away from them strip things there not accurate, lilquid test kits are the best.
Right the blotches are they fluffy in appearance, can you describe them abit more.
When you say gf do you mean goldfish.

Did you cycle your tank before adding fish. You may have added too many fish too quickly which has stressed them and leaving them susceptible to ich. Look at ich on internet see if a picture matches your white spots. Keep an eye on the black moor, it is susceptible to swim bladder problems and stress can IMO cause this in black moors. I had two large ones in a three foot as a kid and lost both to the same thing. One spike in your water parameters can really affect them. Get the lfs to test and if you can buy a liquid reagent based test kit. Including Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and pH. Let us know your water results. Keep doing water changes, your filter is probably not coping.

Also is there any active carbon in your filter, if there is you need to take it out to medicate otherwise the carbon will take up the medicine.
