Okay where do I start! About a month ago I lost about 3 platies with the same symptoms, clamped fins, no appetite, and hiding under driftwood. I had about 13 of them now I have 8. I treated a week of melafix, then after that 3 days of quick cure, with water changes in between. I let the tank run with carbon for about two more weeks and everything seemed fine, but now I have lost two more platies that exhibited the same symptoms. All of my other platies swim actively and eat vigorously, but these guys just go under the driftwood swim around with clamped fins. When I pulled their bodies I noticed the scales on their stomaches seemed a bit yellow is that bad... probably! I need a good diagnosis, but can't put my foot on it. I change the water every week for the last several months. Help!
