Clamped Fins? Why!?

[janice_016]

Almost all of my fish have clamped fins.. Started after I had some discoloration on my platy.. Doesn't look like ich tho. Just been doubling up on the salt as I heard that will kill the bacteria.

As for the clamped fins.. Not sure why!
The water temp, quality is great. Steady. No ammonia, good steady ph, nitrates and nitrites are good.. Obv something is wrong tho.. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Clamped fins can be caused by several things and is not a disease itself. The best thing to try would be a 35% to 50 % water change . The discoloration could be caused by stress or maybe a fungal problem. Combinations of formalin and malachite green will treat most fungal and some bacterial problems. Pimafix is another treatment but it is usually used as a preventative. Salt will help some but it is not a cure all.
