Fish getting sick again

[sam tavo]

A couple months ago I lost a clown a wrasse and a cleaner shrimp to a mystery disease and now it’s back. I woke up today to see my fire fish on the ground gasping for air and barley moving. I was rushing fast to get it some frozen food because last time it helped my clown with the same thing. But when I got back it had stopped swimming and breathing and was being attacked by crabs. The diesease was gone for 3 months. My parameters are as followed alkalinity-8.4 ammonia-.10 nitrate 9 alkalinity-8.4 all tested with Hanna checkers

Fish diseases do not also infect invertebrates - so the fish and shrimp either died from different issues, or you had multiple issues at the same time.

It's tough to see anything through a net like that. Was the firefish breathing fast? It looks like its belly is sunken and its eyes might be cloudy....can you confirm that?
Are there any other fish in the tank?

As @Jay Hemdal said - if inverts are dying as well as fish - it may be a water issue?

The fish died and it was breathing heavy it was fine the day before and I woke up to it not swimming and it was gasping that’s all I was able to see.
