I would expect a seedling planted mid December to be budding by now in my house. It’s a sad thing to say but I recommend a do-over with new specifically formulated seedling mix and either new or soaked and scrubbed in soapy bleach water and rinsed. with a thoroughly cleaned planting area. fusarium is one of the organisms that can cause damping off and I’m concerned it could be wilt.
Seedlings that are growing fast and well in good conditions can have a chance to fight off or outgrow infection but slow growing cold wet seedlings really can’t and even survivors are unlikely to do well for you despite your best efforts.

In illustration, this photo is of seedlings sown at the end of January and are growing fast as I would expect in my house under lights. Sown in seedling mix and potted up now to individual pots up to their first set of leaves. I think you will have better luck with the next ones.
