I need ANSWERS, ASAP...(fish might die)

Ok so I have 3 clown fish on a QT tank because they had ick. They have been in treatment with copper for about 2 weeks now. But two of them just kinda swime face up. And stay almost in the same spot for a long time. I kinda saw a white thing right next to one of my clowns today. Idk what it is. Worried cuz they don't seem to be eating.
Suggestions,?? i really need them.
ammonia 0
nitrites 0
ph 8.4
temp 78

 

today i found that one of my clowns is loosing color.

2 things it could be, but its difficult to say for sure

1 - lack of oxygen, how big is the QT ? and what have you got circulating water in there
2 - stray voltage, do you have a ground probe in there as one of the pieces of electrical equipement could be faulty and leaking electricity into the tank

i dont have one.. is there a way i can do a homemade ground probe just until i can get my hands on one? and besides the LFS where else can i get one?

its a 20-25g. im not sure. I got a powerhead and a filter only.

 

Could just be the copper taking its toll. Medicating in a HT is very stressful. Usually you will be around a 50-75% survival rate when you do it.
Why are they in there? Did they stop eating or do you have bad parameters in the DT?

 

they had ick... i changed them before it got worse. seemed to be doing better until two days ago. my DT needs to be fishless for about 6 weeks. (only 2 weeks have passed)

 

I would try to get an air stone in their
Why do you have plastic plants in your HT? Just curious

 

well, ive read in a book that, when you have a hospital tank and you provide a lot of hiding spots fish get less stressed. and well the plants just provide that i guess.

about the airstone im not sure where to get that.. and for the oxygen part, i just put in a power head that takes air from the outside from a tube and just shuts water and air (bubbles) inside the tank. ( will that solve the oxygen part?) it really shuts a lot of bubbles. maybe to much??

 

here is how the bubble thing looks like.
please keep on with the help. i cant solve the problem by my self.

 

anyone???
