Hi I have had the same problem.. there is another post, Sterbai Cory Flashing again.. See on there... unfortunately mine died, but it does seem treatable.

Hi Thanks PJPJ for your advice and help, my tanks are also kept really clean, and I do regularly vacuum, but when I first got them they were on a gravel base rather than gravel/sand.. I wonder if that contributed to them getting the disease.. also I got mine from a chain store which latterly I...

Ok Horrible I know but I did disect the fish. I found a healthy looking liver, no sign of TB, in fact internally the fish looked fine. The only thing was that just behind and upwards from the gills there were two holes, either side.. not sure if they are supposed to be there, but under the...

I am wondering if this is what is going on with mine.. I have just this minute lost one that has been sick for ages.. I just cannot get rid of it. Not all the corys are affected, and no other fish in the tank have ever had it. On mine its started off with the fuzzy growth, looking like...

Hi My cameras dead at the moment, anyway I was right, she just gave birth to a dead fry, It sort of came out bent so I think that was probably what it was. Still at least she's all clear now. I will leave her now in the dark and hopefully she will be able to give birth to the rest ok. I'd...

My kribs love snails, I have 2 pairs that live at opposite ends of the tank, I also have 5 clown loaches they also love snails and generally its a free for all between them who gets the pickings. I pick them out of my other tank, wash them in warm water and then drop them in.. I do not have a...

Hi I did my bedtime check on my fish and noticed a large female molly (who I think gave birth to some fry today - now removed to nursery tank) with a swelling round the birth canal. (external) she was really stressed as the male would not leave her alone and so I took her out and put her in...

Just a thought but do you have a reputable fish shop that you could ask. We have a massive one near us who quarantine all their fish and I would have thought a place like that would at least know how to get hold of proper vet meds? Maybe you could google for places near you who you could call...

I found it when googling for a cure for whitespot..

Love your fish.. :shout: :shout: would love some of these, I always look at them when we go fish shopping but no more room for a new tank ....

We've got baby kribs!!! they are amazing to watch, it was the agressive pair, but so far they've been brilliant and apart from a bit of chasing there have been no real attacks on others and they are jointly caring for their babies. I turned the light off in the tank this evening, but made sure...

thanks for all your advice.. now have some baby kribs in my other tank.. I get what you say about good homes, my fish are really well cared for and when I was thinking about selling some I did worry about them being purchased as live food for bigger fish. I'd want to make sure they were...

I only get them in my molly tank, the kribs/loaches in my other tank eat them. I know it sounds cruel but I pick them regularly out of the molly tank, wash them and drop them into my krib/loach tank. It solves a problem and the kribs/loaches get a bit of live food. Once they are in your...

Hi There What does everyone do with their molly fry??? We started off with just 2 and 48 hours after we got them, there were about 60 babies, about 20 of those survived and then they had another batch, and one of my original ones looks fit to burst again.. We tried advertising them and did...

Been away off the forum for a while, had a dreadful virus... gahhh. Yes no baby Kribs.. she was being chased off by the male, but they seem to have kissed and made up now and she's all coloured up again. My other krib pair at the other end of the tank seem much more happy together.. yet...
