Corie Problem

[Coomon10]

Hi!

3 of my albino cories have 'lost' their barbels, there are just stumps now... My two bronze cories seem fine but something is obviously wrong with the albinos. Please can you let me know what i can do?

thanks

P.S The substrate is sand so they haven't been worn away

Need to look at your water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.
Not good when they lose there barbels that what they find there food with.
Need to get treating fast if they stand a chance, bacterial med.
Myxazin by waterlife, or anti internal bacteria med by interpet.
Can you issolate the corys.

Yes i have a qt. i also have myxazin, have read some other posts too so will try some salt baths for these guys. Think i will try and give them bloodworms and see if they can take them since the meatyness should help...

I would just add a very little bit of salt to there tank.
Corys don't tolerate salt to well.
