2 Platies now looking sick!!

[Talisman]

Hi guys, its been a good couple of months without any probs and now i have a sick play.

A couple of weeks ago one platy started hiding out the way, and just sitting at the bottom of the tank. she fed fine, and then i noticed white stuuf on her tial like fin rot.

so treated for 5 days with myxazin (think thats it) and after a few days she was back to normal.

Now i have noticed AGAIN that the same prob, same fish, is back.

She sits at the bottom, her anal and dorsal din are kept close to her body and the tail fin isnt spread wide that just as wide as the point it joins the body. (it this clamped fin)???

Any way all water params, are bang on normal. she feeds no probs, but when swimming in the middle of the tank, she on ocassions just sort of sinks backwards, then hides away at the bottom again.

Now last night i noticed another platy startin to act the same way. Poo.

Any suggestions please?

Do some salt baths on the fish, as well as the treatment, it speeds it up.

I also found that treating for several additional days after the problem clears up will help to keep it from coming back. I usually treat now for 8-10 days.
