Advice On Cory Cats Dying

[RobGoldsmith]

Guys

As some of you may know, i overdosed on 'No Planeria' last week and all my readings went off the chart! My aquarium has however been stable for the past week or so after 2 days of high nitrites and ammonia.

When the aquarium was at its worst last week i lost a cory cat. I have now noticed the last two arent eating, lie almost on their sides, hardly move and all of the sand sticks to them.

Has anyone got any advice on keeping these last two alive?

Is there anything they are susceptible to?

Help

Note: They all also poor at swimming right now, go the the surface for air and their tales look a bit stumpy

sand wouldnt normally stick to a fish unless its got a film of gunk on it im guessing?

 

[RobGoldsmith]

Perhaps the No Planeria powder somehow stuck to the cats and not the other fish? It has left a white sort of film on everything else.

Seeing as it is getting worse i now worry that they wont recover as that was some time ago

The fins are all hanging down the side and look like they are lagging, as is the tail

How often have you been doing water changes since you overdosed?

 

[RobGoldsmith]

Did 3 x 30% the following 2 days then a 50% and have done 2 x 25% changes in the week or so after.
They do look slightly better after todays change, but not great by any means

Just want to bump this up guys to see if anyone has any other ideas!

From what i have seen they now show:

Tiny blunt stubby tails
sand sticks to their skin
struggle to swim
lie on their sides and back a lot
not eating
heavy breathing

This has been the case for a week now!



All other wish are happy and fine
