Both clowns have white spots and the frostbite clown had a long string coming out of butt this morning but is no longer there these are my first fish and they are in a uncycled qt tank ATM I've been doing frequent water changes if not every day then every other day fish have looked very healthy until today just trying figure out if I caused this or the fish were already sick both clowns are not looking too good :/

The ammonia is too high - However, since you used Prime, it's hard to say what the real level is. I would be doing more water changes. Unfortunately none of the pictures for some reason are seeable on my phone. I'm assuming someone else will weigh in
I was able to expand and freeze the video. Looks like brooklynella which is often called clown disease although it can affect other fish. Especially noticeable on the percula is the amount slime on its body along with thick mucus on its body also noticeable on the fish. This mucus generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus.
If bare tank and no intention to add corals, yes you can. If you plan to stock tank later, ruby rally pro will work slower but will work. The one with heavy mucus as long as its not breathing heavier can be administered a FW bath as described

no worries im now better prepared to keep the ammonia levels down. the ammonia levels were chillin at 0.5 and i couldnt get them down and i think thats what killed them but let me know if you think otherwise cuz i know clowns are supposed to be hearty i just dont know if they can tolerate 0.5 for A week
Here are my water test again for reference
its a bummer cuz they were going to be my first fish in my main tank, now my main tank is cycled ready to go but still wont have fish for another month do i just keep adding microbactor 7 and some shrimp to my main to keep the cycle alive?
