It will spread very rapidly to ur other fishes. I recommend u set up a qt tank and treat them there if its not too late yet.

As mentioned, could be Brooklynella, but I’m seeing a more diffuse dusting as opposed to a heavy mucus, so I can’t rule out velvet, Amyloodinium. Both can kill quickly , and need to be treated in a QT. Can you get a respiration rate on the clown? Number of breaths it takes in 15 seconds and multiply by 4. Really rapid breathing might point more to velvet.

This happened to me a few months ago didn’t have copper (live in Canada) didn’t quarantine lost all my fish. Even if it’s a 2.5g tank. I got one with a hob filter and got coppersafe. Sorry about your fish. It doesn’t look good

Thanks everyone, we went Tom purchase a QT and medications today. Unfortunately all fish passed away. Learning the hard way! We will bounce back!
