Many bottom feeding fish are subject to internal parasites. I would treat them with Prazi-Pro or similar medication.
Also, look up Skinny Disease, a more complex problem including internal parasites and bacterial infection.
The treatment in this case is to alternate between anti-parasite medicine and antibiotics.
