It seems to have on their bodies and some parts of their bodies now..
I give them live feed what should I do ? Advise. Is that a disease ?
They look like some dust like white... very very tiny. The other
fishes do not seems affected in a 29 Gallon tank.

Ich (pronounced ik) is described as looking like grains of salt. It's a very
common disease.

Andy , it would seem that your fish have Ich. Buy some "Quick Cure" or
similar IcH remedy and treat on Day 1, 4, 7 11 doing a water change prior to
each treatment. Symptoms will likely disappear usually after the 2nd
treatment, perhaps the 3rd however continue the treatment until the end.
