May sound strange but, have you checked your tank temp? I recently had 2 heaters go out and noticed when fish started acting that way. What kind of illness did they recover from recently?
You've been having a lot of trouble over the last few weeks. Post current water quality such as ammonia, nitrite, nitrates etc.

90% chance its your water, fish don't show stress until they are extremely sick! By then usually beyond recovery, just because you notice them sick recently doesn't mean its from the last week, could be months of stress. Always do Atleast weekly 50% wc with the same temp water and make sure you dechlor it with prime or safe!
And keep reading the stickies around here, order an api freshwater master test kit asap! Amazon has them for 20$!!

Wow 50%, that's a lot...
But yes test your water. I (prolly everyone) have a feeling that your water quality is bad.
What size tank is it by the way? What sort of filtration are you running? Any heater?

now when i knew the problem,i did 40% water change.hope no one else gets sickFrom now onwards maintain water quality and if possible put salt in your tank after wc and also after every 1 or 2 weeks coz salt is the best medicine for keeping fishes away from disease and I had also learned from some articles that lil amount salt is required in water. Hope this helps.
