Since it is a salt it should be a one and done unless you do a water change. It looks like it takes 3 to 4 days before you know if it is working.

Brew has you covered sweetie. I'm sorry but I'm in and out today getting work done around the house and on the tank. If you decide to do formalin, do it in a dip not in the QT.

Ok guys, update...both eyes are swollen now. Going to be doing the Epsom salt thing but how do I do it? Mix some in tank water and put 1 ml of the solution per 5 gallons into the tank? Any ideas? Seems to be getting worse....not sure what do to...I have metronidazole on hand. Wondering if I shouldn't dose that into the tank?

That's exactly what I did sir. Would this so be brook with both eyes swollen and being in rally for 2 days straight?
These are new clowns, correct? Some of your pics look like brook, but it's not definitive.

Were it me, I'd remove the rally from the tank. Do the dip in formalin or rally, then put them back in the QT (that you cleaned during the dip) and run Metroplex in the QT itself. Keeping with the Epsom salt in the QT as well.

No. These at clowns I've had one for about a year and the other about 2 years.

I added Epsom salt tonight. Rally says water changes or carbon is not needed....but idk how true that is...

Can I put metro in without having to tear down the tank? I'm about out of salt amd won't have it for 2 or 3 days...
I've never mixed Rally & metro before, so I cannot say if there would be any contraindications.
I do like @melypr1985's game plan. Specifically, give them a formalin bath (since acriflavine doesn't seem to be working here), and then transfer them into a clean QT & treat with metro. That will have brook covered both ways. If white dots persist, you always have the option of dosing copper in conjunction with metro. Those are two meds I have combined in the past with good results.

Is there's a list somewhere that can tell us "what's ok with what?" Surely there would be many different combinations and no way to list them all. But I'm talking about the most popular products. Like the different coppers, Rally, Metro, Furan, Kanaplex, Formalin, Ammonia reducers, Dr. Tims bacteria, etc.....
Or would it be easier to list "what NOT to mix with what"?

Ok so swelling hasn't gone down yet, but could take 3 days....as far as everything else she still has white blotches and skin peeling off

Have you done the formalin dip, cleaned out the QT, refilled it and dosed with metroplex and epsom salt yet? I think this is the best course of action since the other way isn't helping.
