I have a persistent case of fin/tail rot w/ my goldfish. Tried antibiotics but it seems to return. any ideas?

I am currently feeding the fish brand new food. I use a cannister filter as well. I cant seem to determine why the condition keeps coming back. My one theory is that one of the fish has the persistent but stable condition and is giving the others fin/tail rot. Another theory may have to do with too much bacteria? I change 10 gal of water out of the 60 gal tank every 2 weeks. The water condition is within normal levels for pH etc.

Could I add more fish?

I have a 33 gallon aquarium with 15 guppies and 2 small bristlenose catfish (I think.). The water condition is good so far. Could I add more fish, or is this already the maximum?

Are pictus catfish compatible both temperament wise and water condition wise with silver dollars?

I have a 38 gallon tank with 2 silver dollars(about 3″) and 1 clown loach. Would 2 or 3 pictus be good companions?

Discus fish tank requires 6.5 ph?

Ive noticed that my discus color have change to a darker color since I broght them home from the fish store. I was told they live in average 6.5ph water condition. I tried doing that several times but ph is still too high. Now water looks cloudy. Maybe I put too much of that PH down liquid but still too high. Does this have anything to do with my white sand? Maybe this white sand making my discus uncomfortable.
