About a year ago I purchased a couple of clowns from vivid aquariums online. One died and the other lived for about a month before dying. I quarantined both but did not have any medication on hand when their conditions took a turn. Now, I’m thinking of finally purchasing another couple black and white clowns from liveaquaria.

I’ve researched medications which I may need such as metroplex, kanaplex, focus, prazipro, furan-2, ruby reef rally, and cupramine. I know having all these on hand would be ideal but if I’m only going to quarantine two fish for my 30 gallon tank I really don’t have a need for all those medications after the initial quarantine in my mind. Money is tight and would love to not purchase every medicine above if not needed.

Is there a good medication or practice to start clowns in the quarantine with to minimize any disease?
 
Being clownfish are susceptible to brook and are good at masking symptoms of ich/velvet, I recommend the following:
Using API General Cure will deworm (prazi) and also contains metronidazole which will treat brook & uronema, if present.

Thanks for your help. I’ll get these along with a copper test kit.
