i have had my 55 for about 5 years and started breeding guppies, just recentally i bought some other live bearers and somehow brought a desiese to my tank. i started finding dead fish about 3 weeks ago so i treated them with general cure made by API. finished the treatment and still finding dead fish. so i waited about a week and also tried erythromyacin. but the fish dont look like they are getting any better. some of thier gills are red but the main thing i see is on thier back they are loosing thier colors compleatly and its almost a see through and red could someone help me out?

I don't recognize the symptoms off hand but have found in the past that this site has a good handle on types of diseases with reltated treatments:

Fish Disease and Treatment

Rather than clicking on a menu item, just scroll down. The diseases are described.

You didn't indicate if you have done water testing recently?
