Ok one of my lake malawi (something like that) was dead this morning and i come home from school and another 1 is gone. This morning i thought it was my JD since he is like 4'' and they are like 1 1/2'' anyway appears it isnt him. On the dead fish it looked like there were bubbles around the bottom of his gills. and on 2 of my Firemouths i noticed it looked like a scale or two coming all and dangleing by a thread. and then i noticed 1 on my JD! between his throat and side fin.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be? Really don't want to loose my Jack after growing him for 3 months and seen how he has gotton so big.

I put in some quickcure for ick / protozoan parasites not knowing if that will help. Also im waiting for my camera battery to charge and will try to get a pick.
 
Sounds like there fighting. How big is the tank? Do you have sharp rocks in the tank?
 
Filtration details? It wouldn't hurt to run a general med through the tank with carbon removed from the filters just in case, something like waterlife Myxazin, [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT]
 
What are your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels? Do you suspect it was ich/parasites, and that's why you medicated for that? It's really not good to just randomly medicate. If you are able to post a photo and get a diagnosis, I'd recommend running carbon to remove the previous medication. If your fish are sick, being subjected to a cocktail of medications isn't going to help them. We need to figure out what's wrong, and treat for it. A photo would help, plus the water parameters.
