I have a trio of Chocolate Gouramis who are showing cloudy fins, some clamping. I treated with pimafix and melafix for a week, plus sat at about 1 tsp per gallon and it cleared up. Within a day or two of a water change and discontinuing treatment, it came back. The one with the worst issue (low man on the totem pole) is keeping its tail fin clamped all the time. The others just have cloudy spots and occasional clamping.
I added some peat pellets to the filter this AM to see if it helps any. Of course, these are sensitive fish that are a PITA to keep, but I've kept them before and always on tap water with lots of driftwood, etc. to release tannins. I've never seen this particular issue before. The tank they are in is planted and the other fish seem unaffected by whatever this is.
Any ideas?
