Hiya

I've just had the same problem with Strudel. All his fins were stuck. We increased the aereation to his tank and got him to flare a few times a day to excercise his fins. It's taken along time but the last 2 days they are starting to unravel again. And make sure water is good and clean.......but you know that anyway

Sticky fisn can also be due to bad water quality so water stats would be good.

They like to keep you on your toes Strudels were so tightly stuck, I never thought they would open again, but time and TLC did the trick I'll tell him to stop sending Volt messages

stats are fine although there was a slight ammonia rise last week
i keep a good eye on them constantly.... i recently added a new ornament in which i think caued that but a few partial water changes bought ammonia back too 0...

the bulb in his tank is also in need of replacing.... and i did neglect changes slightly the week before last....

Good water quality will help the fiins get back to nornal.
Even a slight ammonia reading can do its damage to fish.
