My Corys Have White Lumps On Their Noses

[bristlenoseitplecoman]

My Corys have recently gotten white lumps on their noses. I don't know if it is a fungus infection or a bruise or something else. Please reply.

I'm not sure I'm afraid. Pictures would help if you get the chance to catch them on camera. If it's White and fluffy like cotton wool, then it is a fungus. Apart from that I can't help.

I'm sure someone will along with more experience.

Oh what substrate have you got sand or gravel?

I have gravel and heard it might be a bruise

Oh ok. If you can use sand, as cories like to burrow. That is where they have got the bruises more than likely. Be careful it's not a fungus, as that could be the case aswell from digging into gravel.

Do they still have their whiskers/barbels ?

yes they still have their whiskers and I have found out that they had bruises because one of them healed up and the second one is getting better. Thank you for your assistance.
