do you think so? I was wondering if that was it. they were only tiny 3yrs ago and of course they have grown quite a bit. do i need to put some in another tank. thanks for your help

I don't know what the problem is to be honest, it more than likely isn't related, but you really do seem to have over populated the tank which won't help matters.

There are lots of things it could be....try googling Fungus on fish fro images as that will give you a better chance of identifying what it is.
I'm not going to even go there with how over-stocked your tank is.
