It seems (in my admittedly limited experience) that every time we
treat ich in the aquarium, we then get fungal infections. There are
no signs of ich now (treated with King British - seemed to work
faster than Protozin) but a couple of the fish now have white
patches, including what looks like a ring of white fungus around one
or both eyes.

Just coincidence and a byproduc of unhealthy water. Feed less
and change more water. Without knowing anything ele I'd posit you
need half as many fish. Undertocked tanks have far fewer problems.

I use the "one inch of fish per five gallons" marine forumla for
freshwater and havn't had ick or a tench the problems most poeple
here have since the 70s.
