What other illnesses are there for fish? I want to be aware of them. Tell me them and tell me the sign. There are two I know of, Ick and Fungus. Please tell me more so that I can keep my fish! I have lost at least ten fish by now!

If i'm not wrong, you blatantly positioned those fish into an uncycled tank, inspite of suggestion from myself and others, to accomplish a fishless cycle. all the fishes' warning signs could be traced returned to ammonia/nitrite poisoning: The white boost on the mouth could be columnaris, this is greater elementary in fish stored in detrimental water situations with greater suitable ammonia and nitrite or atypical/swinging pH. purple/contaminated gills, fin clamping and inflammation are all classic warning signs of ammonia poisoning. EDIT IT TAKES LONGER THAN a week TO CYCLE THE TANK good. something as much as six weeks is customary.

There are literally thousands of diseases found in fish. They can be roughly broken down into parasites, bacterial infections, virii, environmental disorders, fungi, and genetic disorders.
Some, like ich, are very easy to identify and treat, others are really impossible to identify in a live fish and impossible to treat at all.
A google search will no doubt give you many websites that run down a list of common disease, their symptoms and cures.
If you can post a question giving details about your tank, the water and what fish you have lost, including their symptoms, we can probably help you identify what is wrong.
