Sixline with ich! Watchman dead! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

[jumplittlechloe]

I have a clown, sixline wrasse, and watchman goby in my tank. The goby was the last introduced fish and has been in the tank for two weeks. I saw that the sixline (in tank for several months) had some spots on his tail (ich) and started feeding all fish with garlic. The sixline has been showing very erratic behavior (swimming fast, darting, and shaking). This has been going on for 2 days now. All other fish have shown no symptoms. I get home from work and find my goby on the sand bed gasping for air and he died about 30 min later (he was fine at 2:00 and got home at 6:00). The clown is still showing no signs of sickness and both the clown and wrasse are eating still. Any ideas what might be going on or steps I can take to not lose any other fish?

Tank parameters:
Salinity:1.024
Ammonia:0ppm
Nitrite:0PPM
PH:8.2
Nitrate:0ppm
Calcium:420

The tank is a 34g. The watchman was at the LFS for two weeks with no other fish. He was eating in store and was eating for me at home daily. Funny story about this clown, he survived a 12g tank crash. He squatted at the LFS for around a month and I got him back and put him into the new tank. Dogs and cats are fine ; )
