Cory Very Sick

[Tortea]

My Cory Is Sick,

It Is lying on its back, not eating, very small gill movement.

Yesterday all the Corys were behaving funny,

Then We found This Pepered Cory Lying on the bottum. We put it into a floating breeder box, With holes.

Ill get the water samples ASAP.

In the tank there is,

One Betta,
6zebras
15neons
6-8other corys
4platys
1Fry,


They have been fed cucumber, Bloodworm and fish flakes.

Also Poo Is white, and long/thickish and A bit long

 

[WILDER]

Sorry he's in bad shape and I very much doubt he will make it.

Is that a red patch under his mouth area.

How many gallons is the tank.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

 

[Tortea]

Yes Red patch, 200+L,

I think it could be a internal Bacteria.

Will get results ASAP.

 

[Tortea]

I took him up for some air, and now he is swimming a bit, keeping upright and nibbling on cucumber.

Im going to add some anti-biotics. He also has no barbs.(why)

[Joe97]

Do you have sharp gravel!?
If he has no barbs it is rare they don't starve to death. It may also be an internal bacteria...

I hope he's well soon

Best of Luck,
Joe )

 

[Tortea]

Do you mean that it is likely it will starve?

I had 4 Corys for about 5months and they were all fine, but when i added 4more this happened.

 

[WILDER]

I would only use antbiotics in issolation as they wipe the benefical bacteria out in the filter.

The cory has septicemia. hard to cure once it progresses.

Sharp gravel can wear the barbels down. Need rounded gravel or sand.
Barbels can disappear with a bacterial infection.

Let us know how he gets on bless him.

 

[Tortea]

Fish died early yesterday. Treated the tank with some meds,but not anti-biotics.

[WILDER]

It didn't look hopeful by the pic bless him.
