What are your water readings in Nitrite, Nitrate, Ammonia and PH?

 

[rmanpf]

dont know, ran out of tests

It's worth investing in another test kit or taking a sample of water to your lfs to be tested.

Agreed.. I don't think anyone can give you accurate advice as to the why without any test readings. Have you done any water changes? It could be the water conditions...But we need more info!!

If a fish had ich (whitespot) and you did not treat the tank, just because others dont have white spots on them does not mean that it has not been passed on to them.. The white spots may have fell off and thats why they are not visible.. the spots fall of at higher temperautres and thats when you treat it..

My advice is get the treatment, do a 50% watherchange then immediatly treat the tank..

Until then, do a 50% waterchange...

ok, thanks 5teady

its itch obv, the fish could have it in his gills meaning its not visible (one of my goldfish has) buy white spot treatment and do a 50% water change before applying. Remove carbon from your filter too. it is likely that more of your fish will die before it goes away, do NOT add anymore fish
