Hello everyone! New to R2R and marine fish, but not new to fish. I recently purchased a couple of clowns on 1/20/20. Got them home and in the tank. Fed them some Omega One pellets and all was well. I woke up the next morning and both fish had some white spots starting to show up so I suspected Ich. I treated for ich and brook using malachite green and acriflavine. I lose one in the process. My survivor was looking much better, but was breathing hard/gilling rapidly and rarely left the bottom of the tank. Since then, there's been some mucus/discoloration on the head and some tail fin damage. To check for flukes I did two FW dips in 48 hours but did not see any flukes in the bowl. I've now dosed the QT with Metro and Prazi until I can get some additional help. Unfortunately, I hadn't been able to get either of them to take food since the night I got them home. Any help would be appreciated!

Update: Looking much better after 3 days in Metro. Still have some stringy poops and not eating.
