='( Fungus on one of my sterbai cory

[corykitty516]

Malachite green may be the most effective against fungus but it can also be quite harmful to cories. See here for some general info

info on malachite green

sometimes the label even says "not for catfish, loaches...blah blah"

just be sure to read the label

well it did say not to use with elephant nose fish..but not cories or loach, after all i used it before to treat ick

thanks for all the help, i really appriciate it

After reading the article....it's really scaring me, i'll just put one drop of the med into the tank, since i have 14 new harlequin rasbora, so they have no slime coat? and fungus can get to them EASILY, and i'll scoop the cory in one of my 1/2 gallon tank with the correct dose for...1 hr maybe?

and i dont want to treat the tank, we have children in the house and sometimes they help clean the tank, i dont want them to consume any of those dangerous meds.

Wait it went from a jug to a tank?

It's always suggested that you use half doses with weaker stock, anyways.

As for the lights, you leave them on from 6pm to 1 in the morning, then the room lights are on from whenever you wake up to after 6pm?
