Well, the parasite is obviously killing your fish if you know about it. Parasites come from unestablished tanks having too much ammonia in the water and overfeeding. Make sure that your ammonia and nitrite levels are around 0 and make sure you are not overfeeding.
Stop by your local fish store and purchase parasite killer and go through the treatment.

There could be a few parasites that could be doing this. Best option would be to ask your local aquarium store, they usually have tablets or solution to get rid of most common parasites.
Otherwise if you have lost all you fish, start from scratch sit your filter mediums in really hot water, throughly empty out you tank, put you gravel or substrate in a bucket and fill it with boiling water to kill any nasties hiding out.
And just keep you tank clean (water changes ect)
And when you introduce new fish to the tank maybe quarentine them for a week in another tank before putting them in.
(Some people say you can use bleach to clean you aquarium stuff but I prefer the All Naturale Approach ie. Boiling water)
Good Luck

go to the vet to make sure the parasite is killed properly and then (if you want) buy another fish
