It could be STD. Seperate all of them.

Sounds like Ich. Petsmart and other places that sell pet supplies carry the medicine to correct this. If caught early it is a minor problem, just follow the directions on the package/bottle.

Ick

If it looks like they got sprinkled with a salt shaker, it's ick. Pet store has several meds for it. Or if you have a heater, you can slowly heat the water to at least 82 degrees, and add AQUARIUM salt. But, don't use salt if you have scaleless fish, and if you have catfish, tetras, scaleless fish, you need to make sure you read the med bottle to make sure it's safe for them.

this is a diesease called ick isolate the fish or ur other fish will be infected too

If you do not have a pet shop nearby, firstly pour a teaspoon of salt to 500ml of water.

Buy sulphur(yellow powder) or methyl blue medication.

Soak the fish for one week.

seperate the infected ones from th healthy ones then get the drug from your pet shop its a purple liquid put it in both tanks until they heal dont put too much in it cause it might kill them, theis is'nt a very serious illness swords are quite tough too.
