Hard to tell from the video. What symptoms are the fish showing and what is the timeline for those fish that died?

 

[themoraykeeper]

Symptoms are white spots on fins, almost ragged fins, thick white coat of slime on body and face. Also they have huge problems breathing, try to stay in dark areas.
1st fish died a week ago,
Second was 5 days ago,
3rd was 4 days ago
and 4th was today
removed all of them from main tank and placed in QT's.
Been treating with copper for white spot and velvet in a wide range treatment.

From the video, looks more like Brooklynella than Velvet to me. Have the causalities been mostly clownfish?

Okay thanks, but what is brooklynella? and yes one has the disease now and one passed already. Other casualties are potters angel, blue spotted tamarin wrasse and blue jewel puffer. You think it could be thar brooklynella?

Could be either, but like HumbleFish, I would tend towards Brooklynella because of the "textured" issue with the clownfish. The yellow tang was not in the picture long enough to see anything on him. Any fish can bring it in, but often occurs with introduction of clownfish. Your tank has whatever it is and all fish must be treated. We have a sticky in the Master parasite pointing to treatment protocols.

Thank you! yellow tang doesnt look like it has it but not sure how to go on fron here. Is a formalin bath the best way to go? or keep treating with copper?

Did you read the sticky I referred you to?

Sorry! didn't see that link before, but the clown now seems to be recovering after copper medication over 4 days, so does the dip seem necessary now?
Could wide range treatment have killed it?

 

[themoraykeeper]

Hey guys, what does this look like too you?
Tried a formalin bath on the clown but was too late
Done treatment on the tang and remaining fish but now fear the tang may have damaged his mouth, or looks burnt.
What should I do about this? Is effecting his eating at the moment, dont want too loose him
Thanks!

How long did you do the dip? No pics came through.

Sorry! here is a quick video.
And for 1 hours first time around as it said on the link snorvich gave, you think it could be from this?

What was the dosage? It looks like he was burned from the formalin. How often are you performing the dips? IME an hour is too long. To treat brook I dosed 200 ppm for 20-30 min every other day for 5 dips. I was treating an angel he did not do well with daily dips.

dosage was 200ppm aswell, so seems like mine was way to long, only done one dip so far, as thought he was getting better but now this came up.
Do you think if water quality is kept high could the burn heal quickly?
And did your angel survive?
Thank you for the reply!

 

[Newsmyrna80]

Yeah I would only do a 30 minute dip at the most. Good water quality will definitely help. However, if infection sets in then you will have to treat with meds. My flame did pull through. I had originally done 3 dips and after a few days it was back. So I proceeded with 5 dips every other day and he pulled through just fine. On a couple of the dips I did 20 minutes at 100 ppm because he was looking weak.
