Well bring it over here and identify this crap so I can treat it. Started TT today.
Btw...what time in the AM is the best time to transfer?
Also...can you treat with copper during TT?

The time doesn't matter. Pull the fish out, treat in a strong dip, then place in clean tank. Can keep a low bath does in the clean tank couple times a day with Formalin still. Then dip and transfer again.... The sticky has a good method so does chucks addiction. I did the combination.
+1 In another thread about these clowns, the OP reported improvement in the fishes' condition after treating with formalin. That would suggest either brook or marine velvet.

I think it's brook too.
They were treated in theraputic level of copper .5 almost for over a month.
Another reason why I think it's brook is because only the clowns are broke out. I know that other fish can get it too, but the blue damsel and pink spotted goby have not had any spots.

I noticed on the transfer a lot of the spots discoloration when away.
I'm gonna mix a bath back in my 5/G and let them do another 50 minutes.
They did 15-20 minutes first dip.
Then 50 minutes on second dip.
Now I'm gonna go for another 50 minutes.

Visual doesn't matter, yeah you want that mucus film to go away, it's what you don't see. Follow through on the posted protocols.

Haven't seen the protocols, I need to read them.
Did 3rd dip and 100% WC and they look way better. When I put them back in QT. I did 20 drops to 5/G tank and it was suppose to be 20 to 10/G.
Woke up and they were breathing rapidly. Did 100% WC and they were normal. Looking way better.
