Need Help

[Kaseykay]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, like brand new.

I was wondering if you guys could help me. One of my sterba's corys is swimming around manically on its side, swimming into things, panting like crazy and has really red gills, I think it only started today, all seemed well in the tank before I left the house this morning.

My other corys (More sterba and albino) are all doing fine, just this poor little guy I can't even find any clove oil in the house in case worst comes to worst.

Can anyone pleasee help?

Welcome to the forum!

To me, what your Cory there has sounds like ammonia poisoning to me. Try to do daily water changes, and make sure to remove any uneaten food after meals. Also, aeration can help.
I'm not a COMPLETE expert, but I think this should help a lot! Hope he gets better!
