I am not really understanding what I am fighting here. Any help is appreciated.
See the video and attached pics. Do they look like flukes or something else.
Fish looses all color, very pale and hides. Almost blotchy.
I FW dipped a dead fish this is what left.
See the worms like creature circled.

Pics fuzzy but looks like spirobid worms - harmless
 
Check the video. I shook the bowl to show what moving what's air bubbles.
Any idea what killed the fish?
Will dead fish still have flukes attached?

Those aren't flukes. They are segmented, but are not worms either. My guess is they are bits of food - do you feed the tank mysids? They *could* be copepods, but I don't see their heads, more like broken up bits of some food item.

The only fluke you can see in dips without a microscope is Neobenedenia. Those will look like little gray/white ovals. Everything else (except the rare copepods I mentioned) are too small to see with the naked eye.

I think what you might want to do is take a step back and start with a full problem report. This link explains the info that is helpful to supply with those:

Larger objects in pics are isopods
For fish loss, look at ;
Possible ammonia spike
Stray voltage
False test readings
Aggression by tankmates
High salinity
Predator such as bobbit worm

what test kits are you using?
What is ammonia-ph-nitrate?
 
Tank is 8months old
Quarantine is 8 months old

Parameters are
1.025
Nitrates 20
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
 
I think it's a disease because I am running a 50 gallon quarantine tank that has no problem with fishes dying
Only the DT
All fishes went thru 30 day strict quarantine before going in Dt.
Only place I slipped was adding snails straight from fish store.
I know you guys have to treat everyone as newb
But I have 3 tank running
2 40 gallon quarantine
One 300g DT
