when was the last time you checked the water parameters, also how large is your aquarium, and also how often do you do wc's?? I personally would do a 50% wc asap! Would also add aquarium salt
, also don't feed anything until you get results from water test. Possibility your filter may not be able to handle the bioload may have to upgrade filter, or add more filtration.
 
Forgot to mention use a dechlorinater such as prime or safe. add to tank or new water after some water is removed.
 
You could treat them with API Fungus cure, or Malachite green and triple sulfa.

Thx for the quick response Aquanero, didn't know what meds to recommend.
 
The only thing is my ph is high. It's a 75g. I bought some pimafix. Used it for 3 days and no change so far. I know they need a bigger tank. I have a 120g ready for them. I really don't want then to die.
 
My black one looks soo much better. White one is worst20151024_203129.jpg
 
What kind of filter are you running on this tank?....the fish you've mentioned are all heavy hitters when it comes to wastes and bio load.
