It's only bichirs ... Only my bichirs r getting this none if my other fish r bothered by it I have lost 7 bichirs to whatever this is 1 by 1 only one will show symptoms at a time as soon as it dies the next fish gets it ...... Wyf causes it!!!!! It's not nitrite or ammonia so don't say that cause they both at 0

This make me worried as wellabout my poly's. As per this pic this seems like internal organ falure with hemorrhage of some sort.
 
From what I understand wc poly can carry internal parasites like crazy. If your latest addition was within a month or two it might not be out of imagination that it infected the whole tank. Which fish was the first to go and when was the last wc poly added?
 
Its kind of odd, if it was an external parasite; you would think the MB dips would be more effective. Being wild caught fish, they tend to introduce less well known parasites.....
 
I have added no wc fish for quite awhile I added a platinum endli and a cb baby lap about a month and a half-2 months ago and the platinum I was the 1st to die from this from there it spread like wild fire through both tanks
 
Looks like hemorrhagic septicemia.
