Clinched Fins...HELP!
- Thread starter Franky099
- Start date
Clamped (clinched) fins usually indicate the onset of white spot,velvet or toxins in the water.
Have you overcleaned your filter?
Has anyone used any sprays near aquarium?
If there is no sign of white spot or velvet, cast your mind back and try and remember if any toxins have come into contact with the water. 8)

I have just been doing good water changes every day (50%) with just a little meth blue. One male is recovering nicely....but I am very sad to report that I have lost my Melano Male (his father was an IBC champ) and I lost my Opaque Male (pure G. Lines) :'( I still have 2 opaque females from the same line, and the sister to my melano.....they just dont have mate now. Im very upset over this. Those were EXPENSIVE and VERY BEAUTIFUL Bettas.
Remeber Franky, you still have to find out why the fish came down with this.
Fluctuating temperature?
New fish addition to tank?
High Nitrates, ammonia, and/or Nitrites??
Remeber, always quarenteen new fish, and if possable sick one. I setup a Hospital, quarinteen tank after I learned my leason the hard way. I got sick of treating my 55gallons and 30 gallons tanks. Now a put new additions in the 10g for 2 weeks.
