So i made the mistake of not quarantining a couple new fish and my display is now infested with ich. I set up a QT tank today after losing my tang. I ordered a copper treatment from amazon and it will be here in the morning. Right now there is 2 clown and the foxface. The foxface is doing really poorly. Laying on the bottom of the tank, barely moving. Would it help him to drop him in some freshwater for a few minutes? If he can make it through treatment he should be fine but i am worried about him. Is there anything i can do?
Foxface with severe ich help!

Can you post pics? Ich usually doesn’t kill that fast, I would suspect velvet if their bodies are covered with lots of smaller spots. Check this link out and see if there’s a resemblance: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/
A fw dip will provide temporary relief if it’s velvet, not so much if ich but here are instructions:

Good luck and keep us posted!

Pics would be very helpful, if you have seen this type of progression in a weeks time, you are most likely dealing with velvet.
If it is indeed velvet, you may be able to give your fish some relief with a freshwater dip, until you can get them into therapeutic copper.
