I recently bought 2 EBA, and in a week's time, white spots started to show up on both. I immediately treated the tank with Quick Cure to prevent spreading to dozens other tankmakes. Quick Cure is a Malachite Green remedy likes yours. The white spots went away in 3 day treatment, but one EBA didn't make it and died a few days later with heavy breathing. EBA is weaker fish and the ick has advanced to late stage inside the gills
It looks like your EBA came with ick and your treatment was too late to save them. Your WC may not have anything to do with their death, just coincidence. 30% WC with conditioner isn't too big a change to cause death. The reason your catfish also died is that scaleless fish is sensitive to MG treatment, and the instructions tell you to use half dosage.
