Sorry for the problems. Intestinal parasitism can affect small fish. Please check water quality to ensure ammonia, pH, nitrates and nitrites are appropriate. Taking a fish to a veterinarian for identification of the parasite can lead to a treatment plan for the adults. Sometimes invertebrates (snails) are intermediate host for the parasites, and removing them can reduce the problem. Good luck.
