When you do your water changes (especially large ones) make sure the new water going in is the same temperature as the old water in the tank.
I use a common aquarium thermometer when I use my python or buckets for just this reason.
A sudden change in water temperature is usually the cause. Especially a sudden drop in temperature. It compromises the fish's immune system. So make sure you have a reliable heater.
Oh yeah...
Tell your dad to get his own tank!
