Hi smarter than me people , my kid got 2 clowns 2 weeks ago last night 1 of them died, they are babies still … I thought it was just not being able to adjust to our tank and weaker fish … anyway I just turned on light and the 2nd fish looks like this ?! I’m about to break down the tank to get my goby out the tank too and treat him for what ever this is … I feel it’s bad :( like velvet ?! No stores near me have copper power right now and I need to set up the 10gal tank for the goby … the clown is in a 5 gallon bucket with air stones right now and I’ll move the goby today I’m trying to work as fast as i can .. but copper power isn’t here till tomorrow …

This clown has secondary bacteria associated with brooklynella
Ruby rally pro works well

wish you luck
 
Get the CopperPower also. It's very handy to have on hand. This looks like a severe case of Ich to me.
 
Maybe a combo or copper power QT, and 90 min Ruby rally pro bath.

Lighting is good, can you get the pics a bit more clear?

Unfortunately he was swimming that frantic , he passed away , I did get my goby out and he will get a qt he looks great tho nothing in him so far … only have my snails shrimp and crabs left in the tank and I guess I’ll set up a 20 gal for the goby once I’m done with the treatment till his biocube is okay to go back in …

Can the treatment be the same for the goby ?
