I have a 20 gallon planted tank that has been running for a couple months now and I recently been having issues with my Dwarf Rasboras. They had been in a 15 gallon for a year or so prior with no issues. I've lost two recently both to the same illness. They start to turn black and waste away despite healthy eating. I have been dosing my tank with Sulfathiazole per advice from my LFS but another rasbora has started to show signs of illness.

I plan to isolate the rasboras in my hospital tank but not sure how to treat. I haven't seen any symptoms in tank mates. Water parameters are good, 0 nitrite, 0 ammonia. I have a fluval 305 filter and I am running mechanical filtration media. Any help would be appreciated.

What and how many on the tankmates? Liquid test kit? What illness are you assuming?

Tank mates are lampeye killies, tetra cardinals, a betta, dwarf pleco and Australian goby. Yes I'm using liquid test kits. On the affected rasbora I have been noticing what look like sores? I was thinking maybe TB but at this point I have no idea.
