Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello all. I'm hoping someone here can help me. I'm an experienced aquarist, but I've been lucky and haven't dealt with sick fish much. However, my platy has been staying almost exclusively at the bottom of the aquarium for several weeks now. She eats on occasion, but does not come up to do so. I was hoping whatever ailed her would pass, but it hasn't. On the advice of my LFS, I added some salt to the water last Friday, with no improvement. I believe she may be suffering from clamped fins, as her tail is not fanned out like the others and her dorsal fin is always close to her body.
I have a 45 gallon, params are great (0/0/10). Unfortunately, I do not have have a hospital tank, so I'd have to treat all tank inhabitants.
Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!
