Water parameters

Filtration
Maintenance schedule
Foods
Temperature
 
water is always between 22-26 degrees celsius
last time i checked nitrate was 2ppm or less(tint of yellow)
ph was 6-7
55 gallons
2 gold gouramis/2 moonlight gouramis/BGK/clown knife all 3-5 inches
tetra filter handles up to 70 gallons
25%WC every sunday
the knifes get frozen bloodworms and gourami get super colour flakes

i also has a needle nose gar that died 2 weeks ago and a 6 inch pleco the week after. i didnt notice they were sick and were eating well but the blue gourami is not eating/moving and has white poop. could it be the live minnows i fed my needle nose. i did quarantine them for 3 weeks but i put in a rock i picked up from drumheller when i was there. could there have been something in the rock? should i have cleaned it more??
 
im currently treating the tank with parasite guard-half dosage cause of the knifefishes.
