Please help all my fish are dying

Clean plastic buckets with the lid lightly on make great quarantine tanks, too. Good luck.

I am not realy tring to sppend money so I just went with it as well as mad a 25% water change.

My clown is in the qt and he seems better in less flow but his fin are roughed up.

What about the other fish like the marine betta? You need to threat all the fish regardless of how they look or have visible symptoms.

I also added cupramine to my qt

Did i get this right add the same amount every two days for about 4-5 weeks?

And any other recomendations
Anything will help

No this is not correct here's the math for cupramine
.381x.5x your exact water volume. So in your case if your 5 gallon tank has 4 gallons of water in it then. .381x.5x4=.762 mls divide this by 5 and it gives you your daily dose of copper for 5 days. Keep in mind you need a test kit for copper with cupramine use a seachem or salifert. test the cu levels every day and maintain.35-.5 for 30 consecutive days. Even though the math above will give you a concentration of .5 ppm the math does not take into consideration the cu that will come out of concentration do to absorbsion so after 5 days you may not and probably will not be at the .5 ppm and will need to test the cu and make adjustments to the dosing. Go to a pharmacy and get a 1 ml dosing syringe this is the best way to measure and not make mistakes, the syringe will be broke down into .1 increments up to 1.0ml.
Also as Justinm has mentioned 5 gallon tank will not be sufficient to maintain that many fish you will need a seachem ammonia alert badge to monitor ammonia and you will be doing daily wc's to keep ammonia in check. If a bigger tank is not in your budget you may want to consider ttm with two smaller tanks this will keep ammonia under control and allow you to use seachem prime to help in case it rises. DO NOT USE PRIME OR ANY OTHER WATER CONDITIONER WHILE USING COPPER IT WILL KILL THE FISH.

For the past three days I have lost 3 fish. A clown a anthis and a cardial

I am also worried about my mandarin as he is sitting in one place all day and as i look at him it looks as his eye is gone

In my tank now i have a Marine betta,Blue streak cleaner wrasse,an a hoevans wrasse.
Is it an infection of some sort or is it an aggression issue?:headwallblue:

This definitely sounds like a bacterial infection problem. If none of the meds work then your last option is to change everything in the tank. What i mean by that is, throw away your old filter media, all your sponges, your biomedia, carbon etc. Take all your rock and boil it in hot water to remove everything from the rock. Throw the sand away. Put all your equipment in hot water and wash it well. Then start fresh with new saltwater. Probably that's the only thing left now.
