it sounds like there was a big temp drop and they got ich. Treat with formalin and
malachite green, like Quick Cure every other day 3 times. change some water each day
and I would really suggest a cheap air pump and a couple big airstones.
When the last treatment is done, add some salt, like 0.9 lbs per 100 gallons added in
thirds every other day. bring salt up slowly to give everything time to adjust.

As of this morning fish (5) now are lethargic and floating near surface,
one appears to have small white spots all over body & all the tail fins are
starting to look tattered.
