   Check your water quality, especially ammonia, nitrite and nitrate.Random infections and illness are usually due to a problem with the water. Not enough filtering, overcrowded tank, not enough water changes etc. If your tank has large carnivorus fish you may need to change much more water then the regular 20% per week, and need more than the standard filtering.As an emergency fix, do some more water changes, 30% or so, per day and see if they perk up. Feeder fish are a risk, but they are more likley to bring in one specific disease like mouth fungus or Ich. Random illness of various fish points to poor water.A proper antibiotic should help with the infections, but you need to fix the underlying cause if you want them to recover.Ian

   Details.. like what size tank? Heated? When was the last time you did a water change? It sounds like you have a couple of different types of infection going on.
