Candy platy and Swordtail have a wierd disease.

[fishman1121]

My Candy Platy and swordtails have had their fins clamped and have been wiggling in place for the past couple days. I have also noticed a thin grey film covering them that none of the other fish have. They seem to be eating ok but they just never swim around. My water check came out ok so i know thats not the problem. Please help as soon as possible! It seems to be spreading onto other fish! Here are some pics to help. Thanks in advance!

Oh poor things! They don't look well at all! Would you say the film is slimy like mucus? If so, it could be slime disease which is bacterial. You'd need to medicate with antibiotics. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can come forward and help. HUKIT has always helped me with my poorly fish and hopefully he'll be along to help you soon.

I began treating them with lifegaurd treatment yesterday. Sadly the swordtail died today but the platy seems the do better.
