didnt you just have a bought of fish die off a week ago? might still be having same issues so buying new fish right away may be a bad idea until you figure out what happen, ich can be induced by stress causing the fish to come susceptible to getting it. also if it was ich waiting 6-8 weeks for the parasite to run its course in the tank helps, as it has many stages(read up on marine ich cycle). This is hobby is all about "waiting" only bad things happen fast and take time to fix.
