Hello; First I do not have any useful advice about what may be ailing the fish.
My comments come from taking part in a few threads where the OP expressed heavy emotional attachment to their fish. One I can recall was about ich and another was about bad water. The thing each of the threads had in common was that each OP made some mistakes due to a sort of panic.
One thing is trying medications before understanding what the problem might be. Medication can induce a stress on it's own.
Another is trying two or more medications or procedures at the same time. I will exclude water changes (WC) because doing frequent WC is rarely a problem.
You may get response posts from members that have somewhat different suggestions. Members are usually trying to be helpful but may be only guessing. It is up to you to filter any responses, after all you are on the scene while we have very limited information.

My only suggestion is that you post the water conditions if you have a test kit. You might also note any changes in the last week or few. Have you changed foods? Have you added new décor to a tank? That sort of thing.

Good luck

Usually when I have had whatever that is coming out of the fish they have died pretty quickly. If you have a dollar to spare I would ask this guy on patreon. He knows his stuff and answers pretty quick. I am on there as well. https://www.patreon.com/aquariumcoop/memberships

I am sorry your going through this with your fish, I am not sure what is happening exactly,, but if it were me I would try metroplex in some frozen mysis, or brine shrimp.
I also do not have much experience with medications so when I treat I always wait a bit and do frequent water changes before trying a different medication, I’m not very knowledgeable when it come to mixing medications so I always play it safe, one at a time.

I’m usually not to concerned with how healthy a food is either when I feed them after they decide to stop eating, to me any food is better than no food, so I always try frozen food first.

Good luck

I agree with skjl47, all medications (other than plain salt) are toxins, lightly dosed to kill microbes, think chemotherapy.
Those toxins can kill fish if not dosed properly, or mixed randomly
Unless you know what you're treating, how can you just add stuff.
A few questions
How long has your tank been set up?
Was it properly cycled before adding fish (properly cycled does not mean just sitting a few days)
I see it looks bare, unless your filter his a ton of bio-media this can be a a problem.
Most fish ailments start because of stress, if your tank is bare (no cover for the fish to feel comfortable in) this is stressful.
As mentioned above, to keep fish like FHs, you need to know the fluctuations in composition of your water, ammonia, hardness, pH, a few others. These water parameter factors let you know when water changes are needed, and if something is awry (especially for new fish keepers).
The proper keeping of fish is more like a science chemistry, and biology experiment, rather than a simple hobby like stamp keeping, or even bonsai trees. (its more like trying to keep orchids alive)
