Two of my fish is having a symptom of black ich and so I treated my tank with prazipro. After 4 days, the two fish started having cloudy eye and skin seem to be sloughing off. Rest of the fish are fine. What is this? And what treatment should I use?

Poor fish... that isn't black ich, it is a bacterial infection. It also looks to have either ich or velvet which likely caused the bacterial infection. You need to get the poor guy into a QT system where you can treat with copper and antibiotics ASAP in my opinion. I hope that is an option for you!Two of my fish is having a symptom of black ich and so I treated my tank with prazipro.

I will try catching it again. I did treat all fishes before in copper for 3months and left the tank fallow because of ich. Once I placed all the fish back in the display tank after a month, these two fish started showing up black spots. Didn’t add coral, or fish during the fallow period in the DT.

+1 I agree with this^^^
I'd recommend copper + Furan-2 + Kanaplex. I prefer copper power. Using copper power with the Hanna checker.
When you treated with copper previously, what kind did you use and what test kit?
I do not use copper. Chloroquine Phosphate and Triple antibiotic (Metronidazole, Kanamycin and Nitrofurazone) would be a good idea. This is in a qt system only. No inverts! Looks really rough. Good luck.
Thank you guys for all your suggestions and recommendations. I will do my best to catch all the fish tonight. I’ve done this before, maybe I can do it again. Hopefully it’s not too late. It’s rough and tough when you did your best and be proactive, and still gets it again. I love all my fish but this two is extra special. This hobby is not for the faint of heart.
I would treat all if you have enough space. Hard to do, but best for all of them. I hear you. I am fallow right now and have 2 qt tanks going. Fun stuff.
