Today morning my zebra tilapia and blue acara chiclid died in the same tank
, the tankmates were 2 Albino Pleco, 2 zebra tilapia, 2 Blue acara ciclids and 1 Albino Oscar and 1 Tiger oscar. **Note all of them are babies about 1.5 inch**

Unfortunately today morning one of the zebra tilapia died and one blue acara chiclid died too.

In fact the day before I cleaned the water 30-40%, i put rock salt and chlorine medicine the (Hypo - some what like rock salt in shape)

But they were swimming perfectly fine, later on I saw one tilapia was very weak and was just moving with the flow of air pump so I put it in a hospital tank with Green liquid medicine and some hypo. At night I put him back in the tank and morning it was dead. Same with blue acara I saw it was a bit weak at night but I thougth it would survive.

Right now what to do for the albino Oscar
I had out the power filter on so the poop went away but still!?

I’d get the water tested to make sure ur tank is cycled and nitrates are below 20ppm. Do that water check first. Since the white poop is turning to colored then I’d try feeding a regular mixed pellet. Even consider using hex shield. No live food or cut up fish.
 
But today it's only white and long!!
He's stopped eating, i am using epsome salt for treatment.
Then try dosing some api General cure or metronidazole to the tank. Might help. If it starts to eat then feed hex shield.
