I Had 4 Jacks in a 200G aquarium. one by one they turned black and Died. No reason or warning. 3 Reg jacks and 1 Electric blue Jack.

amm 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrates 0 ph 7.2 temp 78

W/C is 60% weekly (carnivoris fish I feel need more WC done)

any thoughts on them and what happend?
 
Where there any new editions? Could it be that a parasite got introdured by a new tank mate or on some kind of live food? My Four year old Carpinte started shakeing his head and chaseing his tail for about 1 min then just went belly up right in front of me. This was over a month ago and I still have no definate explination.
 
If you did feed any live food that could be the cause. I lost 7 discus and 2 angels because of a bad batch of live black worms. Now the only live food any of my fish get is stuff I have raised. Also did anything get into the water? Maybe someone sprayed something they shouldn't have close to the tank. Losing a fish is hard, not knowing why they died is harder.
 
I've tried getting them to eat pellets but they dont like them, I dont feed live foods to often. Bloodworm frozen usually with a stray earthworm here and there..
