This makes me sad; I hope you don't lose to many fish! Here's to hoping most pull through for you

Thank you. It's heartbreaking watching them.

Ugh, I see a mess of issues. Visually, the clown has brooklynella but the foxface has either mucus spots or ich, it is breathing fast, so that is an additional issue.
Heading into the dentist, I’ll try to check back later.

been cleaning snow
In watching all 3 videos, The clown appears to have secondary bacterial lesions associated with brook.
The foxface has mucus spores and tang seem to have Lymphocystis but the size of the nodules also suggest bacterial in nature But im suspecting neobendendia flukes. Looking at the breathing and semi-clamped fins also supports that.
have you noticed loss of appetitie, lethargic behavior, hiding, yawning effect, scratching or darting suddenly?

They are all still eating really well. I haven't noticed any yawing or scratching. They only hide or dart when I am trying to take their picture.

I see Jay's comment and agree with term" Toss up"
Im not a fan of mixing meds but best case treatment would be treat fish in quarantine with Coppersafe or Copper Power at therapeutic level 2.25-2.5 For a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored by a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.
The display tank will have to be kept fishless (FALLOW) for 6-8 weeks to assure the existing parasites go through their life cycle without a host fish and die off
For remaining symptoms, you can add ruby Rally Pro at 80% of dosage recommendation week 3 and again monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.

I got these two in Q with copper.
The clown has calmed down but the foxfire is still stressed.
I am still trying to catch the tang.
I just want them to make it.

I’m still mixed as to what is going on here, but ultimately, copper is your best choice I think.

The clown didn't make it but I do have the foxface and tang in copper quarantine and they are doing great. My question is, could there be something else going on in my DT? I lost my cleaner shrimp yesterday. I have also never seen my pistol shrimp out roaming, and he was doing that today.
Could something be going on in the tank? I did a water change Saturday and tested.
