No wonder, I knew I was doing something wrong. Do I have to do this 4 times again? That would mean about 8 transfers total. I am worried my fish will get stressed.

Dieing is stressful. TT is not.
Never thought of it that way, which totally makes sense. Well, I guess I will have to continue with TT. At least this incorrect TT helped get rid of some of the ich.

After a few days, I was finally done with the 4 every 3rd day transfers. I would put the fish in right away, but the salinity is a few levels low, and I have bad news. The fish were fine for the past few days in their recovery tank, but the yellow one started to twitch a little again! Does this rule out the ich then? The ich couldn't of survived, I properly sterilized all the stuff, made sure that very minimal water was transferred, transferred early in the morning 6:00, plus, the water was in a kind of hypo salinity state. Are the fish simply stressed? I thought it was flukes, but the medicine is not working. But I did notice that I have seen white strings, maybe poop, on the bottom of the tank. I just feel totally bummed for all the effort I put in, and realizing it was a fail 
. I am really tempted to continue raising the salinity, and putting them in the dt anyway. It may relieve some stress.

That's a little relief, yet I have to battle flukes, but why is it that prazipro does not work for me?

They are getting worse today, the wrasse back to scratching, the cardinal is hiding, the clownfish are darting and shaking. What do I do next?

If you executed Tank Transfer correctly, they should be free from crypto (ich). The only way crypto would have made it through the process is if you went too long between transfers or didn't sterilize and dry the equipment thoroughly. You stated that PraziPro didn't work for you. Can you describe how you administered the PraziPro treatment?

Before I would treat prazipro, I would do a water change. Then I would turn off the airstone, and foam filter. Then I would apply the correct amount of prazipro in the tank. I would usually put a little prazipro in each corner of the tank, and mix it in with the water. I would wait a minute or 2, and turn the pumps back on. Should I maybe wait longer before I turn on the pumps?

Dieing is stressful. TT is not.
Insufficient nutrition during TT is stressful.
Some fish will eat within a few hours after being handled; some will not eat well days after being handled.
There are alternatives in eradicating ich.

How many treatments of PraziPro did you administer and how often?

I would add about half a teaspoon, since it is a ten gallon. I would do this every 4/5 days.

Also another Update: The cardinal fish died last night :'(, I woke up to find it upside down, and the tank water was a little cloudy. I don't know how long ago it died, but its head area was dark, and the rest was faded. I immediately removed it, and set up another qt tank. I then moved the 3 remaining fish into the tank a few hours later. So far they are not showing signs of shaking and darting, as the new water is giving them relief. What is the next step? I have no idea, cause this isn't ich, and I am not sure if the is flukes. The fish have been eating and pooping fine.
