clamped fin

Hi all, relatively new to the hobby here. I have a 55G planted tank setup that has been running without issue for maybe 4-5 months now. Originally started with plants, then added nerite snails and amano shrimp. I also have a few pieces of driftwood in there, in case that's relevant... Anyways...

One of my yellow guppies has an extremely clamped fin. A few days ago it looked like he had burned his back fin on the heater. I just finished treating the tank for ich, so i have the temp around 83°. I haven’t done a test on the water quality lately because I’ve been changing it 20% every 48...

Hi all, I've recently got 2 molly fish - I've had them about 2 weeks - and one of them has started tucking in its fins and sitting at the bottom of the tank a lot. I've tried upping the temperature in the tank (its sat at 80*f) and have done 2 water changes since I got them. I'm currently...

We have a female Guppy that has a clamped tail and partial paralysis. She is swimming and feeding okay. None of the other fish in the tank seem to be effected. Is this something as simple as a stroke or should I start a form of treatment just in case? Any recommendations?

This past June, a friend of mine gave me two female Betta fish in a split half-gallon tank for my birthday. I have since moved them into separate 3 gallon filtered tanks from API. One of the bettas, Scarlet, has clamped fins. She is hiding, and seems to be stressed. I changed about 50% of her...

Hello! I got a new betta about 3 weeks ago. My tank is cycled an it is reading either 0- .25 ammomia and 0 Nitrites. It does have nitrates but I haven't checked the reading since I got him. I'm not sure what has happened. I got a new heater so the temp is always around 75-80F and I do 25%...
