Small update, so I can track it later. Fire fish did not make it. Luckily, I had some friends with all the copper treatment chemicals and Nitro who were super nice and let me borrow their Hanna copper tester and Copper Power to get the fire fish into the tank.

Started with old tank water and some Nitrofurazone, so I could reduce the amount of time and stress to the fish before getting them some relief. I did all this around midnight last night. He did well for the night, but this morning, when I got up for work, he was gone. He was also by himself in the tank, but had major fin tears, and some of his side had already started to rot away. No copper was introduced yet to try and reduce some stress before I started copper, and because I had to go to bed.

Old ten-gallon, filter floss with a HOB filter just to move water and provide some turnover for O2

Next question for the group, do I go ahead and QT the clowns and the Blenny if they don't have any symptoms yet?

I cannot lose the clowns, and I have time since they aren't sick yet to really dial in the 10 gallon for long-term QT, but no spots, no flashing as of this morning. Same with the Blenny, he is just chilling, no major issues. I also got some Garlic and Selcon to hopefully keep them ahead of the curve for making sure they are healthy.

Yes - you should treat the clowns. I would not add nitrofurazone. And you can increase the copper to therapeutic quickly. (It does not have to be over days). I have no objection to Garlic and Selcon however I'm not sure they are going to have a big benefit in your case. Hope everything goes ok!! PS sorry about the firefish!!
