I think I may be in somewhat of the same situation; some of the fish had
ulcers and bloody streaks on the body. I've quaranteened any fish that
looked at all symtomatic.
(I don't know if this will help, but I'm trying to treat the 2 fish infected
with maroxy2 and 1 tablespoon epsom salt/gallon).
The other fish look fine, and I guess the important thing is to get eggs
quickly. They are neat fish, though.
