Hey-
My smaller panda cory seems to have hurt it's barbel (sp?).. I believe he's still eating, I saw some normal-looking poo. Still swimming around etc, and all my water stats are normal. I'll add aquarium salt, but other than that, what should I do? Thanks so much, Maya |

Don't add the salt.
Just keep an eye on him and if it looks like he's getting sick treat him. |

When you say hurt is barbel can you explain in more detail, does it look bent, or shorter and thinner in size.

QUOTE (Wilder @ May 11 2008, 08:40 AM)  When you say hurt is barbel can you explain in more detail, does it look bent, or shorter and thinner in size. It almost looks like they just disappeared! I'm thinking now that he's just clamping them down, and maybe sick in some other way, but he has shown improvement. I am starting to see some barbel-- and he's swimming and eating fine. All parameters are normal.. Thanks for the help! Maya |

Corys need there barbels to find food.
What type of substate to you have in the tank, is it sharp gravel. Any sores or red streaking on the cory. |
