As you can see, the filter is full of fish, I can fix that. But the problem is the fish.

Firstly what happened? Secondly, the best treatment is if possible move the aro to a separate tank, up the temperature a few degrees and add aquarium salt(just a few teaspoons) that'll help the healing process, and do water changes often, like daily. Keep tank lights off for a while and do everything to keep stress down, so no tank mates, no glass taping or constant checking up and don't feed for a day and after that small feedings. If you don't have access to a separate tank do all the above and clean the filter.

Thanks, but can I change the water to help the fish?

I think so, new water should be beneficial

I agree with the salt and water change,I would turn the heater up to 80f and maybe add some stress coat to add some more of a slime coat for healing

I would go up to 86f for a bit as not to many diseases can live at that temp. This will reduce secondary infection as well but add an airstone to ensure enough diluted oxygen
