Clownfish - anything wrong with it?

[southfla79]

So was never able to get the clowns out of the tank so started dosing the display after posting this thread with the rally. It's been about 6 days. At first it looked like the clowns were starting to get better, their eyes were clearing up. But now i'm not so sure. New pics and vid attached. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's spread to other fish even though we're on day 6 of the rally.

Everybody is still eating normally as of this morning.

Thoughts? Suggestions? :\

The neon goby has marine ich. The clowns are still a toss up for me between ich or Brook - but based on the rally pro not working, the fish still eating, the gobies having spots and the way the clownfish look, I’m convinced now that this is ich.

In tank treatments with invertebrates rarely work. I’d suggest putting all of the fish through hyposalinity - that will help for Brook and will cure ich and flukes.
