Please help frontosa problems

Hi, I just had a question about my kitumba Frontosas, my colony seems to be having a few issues, their fins are tucked in most of the time and flicker their top fins a lot and also has a red line across the top fin, they also bend/contort their bodies and some of them use their side fins and rub their bodies and anal areas, also they tend to spend a lot of time on the bottom of the tank. I've used tetra parasite a few months ago and seemed to help quite a bit but it's all coming back again. What would you recommend me to treat with? I was just about to order some prazipro but read somewhere it has the same ingredients as tetra parasite. Your help would be appreciated. 
Thanks, Tony

Sounds a bit bacterial mate. or at least part bacterial.

It could be something as simple as the GH being too low, or it could be something as exotic as flukes.

If you can see no sign of white spot or velvet, its worth checking ammonia and nitrite levels.

 

Basically we try to eliminate the possibles and then treat the causes still left.

What temperature is the tank at?
