My 6 lined wrasse, clownfish, and Randall’s goby are all dead. They were breathing heavy at the bottom of my tank for a few days. Tried increasing oxygen supply with a new filter but that didn’t seem to help. I have been treating with Imagitarium bacterial infection remedy for 2 days now, but my clownfish, wrasse, and goby were all dead this morning. I have a golden head sand sifter goby left, which seems to be fine. And this one clownfish that looks like it’s on its last leg.
I believe this is Ich- can someone else confirm? Are there any other bacterial remedies that are better for treating ich? I’ve done a lot of research and found Paraguard is good as well as Prazipro?
Does anyone have any good advice?
(Also have two crabs, fire shrimp, zoanthid, and Xenia’s that look like they’re doing totally fine.)

I don't think thats ick. Maybe velvet maybe brooklynella. No qt? No chance of getting it in a copper treated tank?

Either way your display tank is infected. No fish in it for 76 days.
 
How old is your system? Have you tested it to know what your parameters are currently? Did you get these fish at the same time and how long have you had them?
 
All fish died

I think it was Brook

I am thinking about “starting over” with a bigger tank (30gallon) since it’s just a 10gallon setup I have now.

does anyone have any one have any links to useful threads for how to transfer/ disease proof my Xenia’s and zoas and inverts before moving them over?
 
No fancy links or procedures, just leave the tank without fish for 76 days. Keep it heated and with circulation, no need for lights unless there's corals in the tank (it'll just encourage algae on the rocks). The parasites will all die off without any fish to complete their life cycle. Feed the inverts occasionally but not heavily. You can move the contents over any time as long as you still don't have fish for the whole 76 days, but if you add any new wet live rock you should consider restarting your 76 day count.

Sorry to hear about your fish. Bonus though, if you get a bigger tank, now you'll already have a tank ready to go as a QT!
