White spots and clamped fins in fish are classic symptoms of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, commonly known as 'Ich' or white spot disease. This parasitic infection is highly contagious and can be fatal if left untreated. It's often triggered by stress, poor water quality, or sudden temperature changes. Immediate treatment is essential. You'll need to confirm your water parameters are optimal, consider a slight temperature increase if appropriate for your species, and use an anti-parasitic medication specifically designed for Ich, following the product instructions carefully. Isolate affected fish if possible to prevent spread. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
