P. P.S if the breeders live nearby maybe its worth asking them. They probably know best..

Of course it is possible for corys to acclimate to different conditiins. If they are bred in this water then ph is not the problem. I would go for the cleanup and water change. FYI the fish I had did not die from this and the white fluf never healed. Keep us posted. Cheers

Hi all I have been keeping several cory spp. for about three months. Some of the fish have a white growth on their fins and not on any other body part (please see pic). The growth is rather large white usually round but sometimes goes along the fin appearing on the caudal or dorsal fins mostly...
