Answer
Hi Nikki;

I really need more info to be able to help you. Such as;

What have been the symptoms of the sick fish?
What medicines have you tried so far and for how long?
What size tank do you have?
How big are the fish?
What kind of filtration?
What is the tank water temperature?
Does it have a heater?
How often do you usually made water changes in the tank, before and after they got sick?
How much water do you change each time?
I know you mentioned your water levels have been great, but what are the actual readings of pH, nitrite, ammonia and nitrate?

Let me know as soon as you can....
