I need help with a diagnosis/treatment for my sick Sterbai. I brought it home around 4 weeks ago looking perfectly healthy. It now pretty much stays in one spot on the gravel, sporadically swimming with his mates, then settling back down on the gravel.
Symptoms - No signs of damaged fins, no visible signs of parasites, no signs of spots or abrasions on the body. What i have noticed is that his barbels are slightly shorter than the others and the area from his mouth to the eyes are a definite shade of crimson, but without obvious signs of swelling.
Parameters - 24 degrees, 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites, 10ppm Nitrates, Ph 7.2, gH 11.
Yesterday, i treated the tank for an outbreak of snails using Interpet Anti-Snail.
Can anyone help me with this problem. Thanks in advance.

At 5:15, the cory was motionless upside down at the bottom of the tank. I went to net it and it swam away for a few inches but then dropped like a stone, motionless again. Seems obvious it's not gonna recover, so have decided to do the decent thing.
