quite a common problem with imported fish, it's mianly stress related, but poor water quality dose not help, have u tested ur water?
Do u do regular water changes?

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
How long has tank been set up.
How long did you climatise the fish for.
