Corydoras Julii - Red Spot/Cut

[bushbrother]

I tried posting this in the Corydoras forum and it was suggested I try here too ...

======================================

I don't seem to be having much luck with my new fish recently My female gourami recently wedged herself in my bogwood and was cut so bad she died, now at feeding time I spotted what looks like a red spot on the joint of one of the side fins of my cory.

It looks kind of raised like a spot, but could be a swollen cut. It doesnt seem to bother him/her at all and is busy scooting around and searching through the sand. Should I be worried? I tried to get some pictures but it is hard!

Should I leave it for a few days? Could it be an infection? FYI my tank has cycled and water stats are good (0ppm) and I am doing weekly 30% changes.

Bless him.
Can you issolate and use a bacterial med.

It looks bacterial to me but red spot can also be due to parasites, but corys are more prone to bacterial infections.

Could just be a cut but it looks a bit bacterial... You should probobly treat with a anti-bacterial medication, maybe a member who knows more about medicine can advise you,

My eyes need testing. Is the spot raised out like it filled with fluid.
It's hard to tell in the pic.
