Leoperd Cory With Red Around It's Eye

[fishy55599]

does anybody know what this is and how can you make it better?

 

[mattlee]

it would be easier to diagnose with a picture...

 

[fishy55599]

Trying to get a good pic, but it is hideing behind filter.
It's only the 1 eye the reddness is at the bottom

 

[fishy55599]

I drew a circle round it on one of the pics, also noticed a tiny bit on it's body.

 

[mattlee]

what else lives in the tank?

could it be damage from decor etc?

 

[fishy55599]

dont think it is damage from decor because i only brought him like 3 hours ago, he's just stayed in opne place.

other things living in the tank is about 14 baby-young guppies, and 2 other corys

ok so we are saying it must have come to you like this, i take it you didnt notice it in the shop....?
it could be a bacterial infection of some kind but its hard to tell from the pics.
i would suggest doing plenty of water changes, maybe 25% a day and see if it improves.
ideally he needs to be in a quarentine tank so you can treat with meds if required and keep a good eye on him. treating the main tank with meds can cause problems through stress on the fish that are well.....

he is just laying, almost looking on his side.
the other 2 arent moving that much though but they do, think there still getting used to tank

Definitely ring the shop. The longer you leave it from the time of purchase the more they will try to make out you did something wrong.

 

[fishy55599]

not today anyway, probally not for afew days.
but i will try him on the med to treat it.

i will let you know if there is any progress

i don't know the number for it

 

[Curiosity101]

what's it called and what town is it in?

 

[fishy55599]

what's it called and what town is it in?

parkers aquartic centre, Iron Action

 

[mattlee]

give us the name and town and we can find you the phone number

if you dont ring now then it will be too late and they will say you have done it rather than it being already like that. you normally get a 2 day survival period with fish but if the fish isnt well and they arent informed straight away then it may be too bad and you are stuck with the ill fish....
also if you have small fry in the tank the med might be too much for them and wipe them out too.......
