Ate the clowns paired up well? Maroons often fight, and bunged up jaws are a common result.
Kanaplex is a good option, but it may take thee treatments to stop the infection and a couple of weeks for a full heal.

they were bickering at first but the bigger one took dominance , but what explains the white pimple on the dorsal fin?

Still could be a bite mark. Clowns are really sly about fighting when you are NOT in the room (grin).

They are eating like pigs so that’s good , I’m just hoping is not brook or ich
That isn’t Brook or ich. Now, that doesn’t mean the fish won’t develop those issues, just not yet….

That sounds good, but you might go 8 or 9 days apart for the GC

UPDATE: clowns are doing well and eating very good. Finished second dose of kanaplex 2 days ago , started API GC today
Planing on dosing second API in 7 days then wait 2 days and transfer to display
Any thoughts?
