Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):Clamped fins, including her side fin, her top fin, even her tail isn't spread out. She is being antisocial, hiding under the wood and in the plants, avoids the other fish. All of the other fish are swimming and acting normal. No notable lesions or discolorations, looks just as beautiful as always.
Volume and Frequency of water changes: 10%-20% weekly, wil gravel vac, good glass scraping and larger water change(50-60%) once a month with filter cleaning. Last water change done last thursday.
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: Prime at water changes
Tank inhabitants: 2 Male swordtails, 4 female platys, 4 platy fry (bout an inch long apiece)5 more fry in the fry net, 4 albino cories, 1 albino bristlenose plec, and a chinese algae eater (juvenile - 3 inches)
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration): 2 albino cories and albino bristlenose added yesterday, but she has been clamped up for about a week.
Exposure to chemicals: only prime at last water change
I did a water change the first time I noted her acting weird, and it did not seem to ease her. She almost seems stressed, but has no reason. I never see the other fish bother her. In fact she is one of my very first fish. Could this be age, and her getting ready to "leave us?" She is not acting like she is in pain, just very antisocial and tired more like. This is the best picture I could get as she hides when I come near.
