What are your water stats?
How long have you had the tank setup?

 

[roseykat5]

all water pream is good and normal which i dont understand why the fish still going down hill where as the rest of them is doing well as strange as it sounds it makes me wanna give up and i can t upload the video which is 26 secs long and it shows her swimming a spec backwards and then shoots forward then 90 degrees turn and does it again step back and shotts forward into 90 degrees turn and she keeps doing that .. im treating the tank half dose of parasite meds and its helping some and making other worst it almost seems like it got into their brains they got stupid and i also have a male that keeps falling sideways but he still eating and swimming so he find himself a tight spot to keep him self upright so hes trying to stay alive as well ... bad luck bad luck seems to follow me around

Is it a video as it not playing for me.

 

[roseykat5]

cant get the video diss regard the pics wrong one .....my video is too lkarge .. dont know its 26 secs long

Falling sideways can be bacterial to parasite.
Has the fish bloated up.

 

[roseykat5]

no not bloated he still comes up to eat and doing ok he seems to be improving each day as i continue with meds .......so im praying that he continues to get well ... i lost one female paradise when i attempted to move into 10 gall temporary for breeding but that didnt work .. and also lost one peppered cory and 2 other dont look all that great so im at loss im treating the tank both and the rest of them look fine and improving and perkier now but just the two pardise acting weird thats 2 females if i lose those two then i will have only one female outta of 4 males
taht should be interesting huh im gonna have to hurry up and get a 30 gal for a pair of them so htey have a chance of survival where the rest of them are not so good but one male so i kn ow 2 males not good with 1 females

 

[WILDER]

Are you using a bacterial med with the flukes, as flukes are nasty as in there hooks they carry a nasty bacteria which enter the fish when they pierce the skin.

 

[roseykat5]

yes for gill flukes along with parasites and baterial med from jungle ..... ill have to wait til later im feeding hte baby right now ..its all in one .... the one male was going side way at 2 days ago he was going upside down but he not doing htat any more and seems to be getting better so im hoping i just caught it in time
he still eating so im at loss and one female is hanging on top im sure she gonna die and the one is acting weird i have her on vidio if i can figure out how to show it on here its too big to show so that mkaes it hard i dont know

 

[WILDER]

There is plenty of aeration in the tank.
Gill flukes can soon damage the gills, she sounds in a bad way.
Good luck.

 

[roseykat5]

i have a long one for areation .... one male runs right into glass im thinking parasite got into brain would that be possible

 

[WILDER]

Tapeworms can enter the brain and cause seizures.

Prazi is meant to be a good med.
