Hi,
If your fish are stressed or frightened, then they will tend to breath a little faster. IMHO, I would say the six line is a bit stressed...from what...I don't know. In case the water change had some contaminants, I would also run carbon.
As for doing more water changes, I would use water from a reliable source -- like a local reefer with a RO or RO/DI or from the supermarkets. Supermarket RO water (not spring water [img]smile.gif[/img] ) isn't the greatest...but it should work for emergencies. And I would not use tap water (makes things worse).
As for the possible ick breakout, I would start lacing the fish food with garlic. This will help the remaining fish from contracting ick.
Hope that helps.
- Victor.
