  1. Looks like over production of the slime coat and saprolegniasa on the tail fin of your Cory its no a true fungal infection it's a water mould recommended treatment is ick X and a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment such as maracyn to prevent any secondary bacterial infection if your going to use aquarium salt i wouldn't go above 1 table spoon for 5 gallon with cory they can be more sensitive to salt over production of the slime coat can be caused by poor water quality a parasitc infection like body or Gill flukes do you use a water dechlorinator when doing water changes as chlorine can cause over production of the slime coat @sonorasage
  2. Yes it 14.3mls a liter I would turn of your filter during treatment and just run an air stone as hydrogen peroxide will kill your benefial bacterial @Supermassive
  3. Pineconing can by a caused a number of things internal bacterial infections organ failure parasitic infections If you have a quarantine tank or a tote you could use to quarantine then I would treat with a higher dose of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons salt just remember to only put back in what you take out so if you do a 2 gallon water change put 1 table spoon of salt back in as salt only removed though water changes I would do a full course of Esha 2000 instead of baths and i would add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties @triss
  4. I would always recommend dissolving salt in a jug or cup of warm water than evenly distribute it across the surface of the tank
  5. Looking at the condition of the fish I don't think it's likely he will recover if he's just laying on the bottom of tank barely breathing he not eating I would consider end of life care humanely euthanizing him with clove oil when you think he has no quality of life it's not a pleasant thing to do sometimes you have to make that decision to end suffering that only a decision you can make you will no when it's time
  6. The fact the it been bulging on one side for over a month and shown no improvement after multiple treatments could be an internal mass more than likely benign or cancerous growth treatment wise there's not much you can do I stop treatment just focus on his quality of life I would put him back in the main it's something that won't affect the other fish and monitor for now if you notice any deterioration give us an update
  7. Am not a fan of long fined bristlenose it's two easy for them to damage there fin
  8. Maracyn2 safe for trumpet snails have long does say to treat for with medicated food you been using @Chick-In-Of-TheSea
  9. 1 pound of crushed coral per 10 gallons mixed into the substrate or you can put it in media bag and add it to a filter
  10. Sorry for your loss everyone in future I would use crushed coral added to your substrate it essential does the same thing as cuttlefish bone I have never had any issues when using it over 20 plus years
  11. I would feed what you usually feed it might take it longer to eat so you want enough food to reach the bottom of tank for it to have time to eat it share @Mr.catfish
  12. am not seeing any Reddening to edges of the fins I would indicate an active infection possible your betta attacking the fins of you Cory's when your no there it looks like something been nipping at the fins I would watch your betta just make sure he not the cause i would add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect give an update in 1 week before then if it gets worse @sonorasage
  13. looks like it heading in the right direction hopefully he makes a full recovery @TheDesktopAquarium
  14. What are your water parameters ammonia nitrite nitrate that looks like there shedding the slime coat coming that can be caused by poor water quality parasitc or bacterial infection do you use a water dechlorinator like prime when doing water changes @Ohio FishPlant Dude
  15. Frozen or live blood worms daphnia brine shrimp sinking pellets wafers @Mr.catfish
  16. It's looks more like a bacterial infection or an injury with white patch I can't see spots but picture quality isn't the best he's a picture of a fish with ich for comparison if it's just the white patch I would do a course of kanaplex it's a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment @a date with nature

    Worms!

    Going off your other picture I would say am 99% sure your fish have camallanus worms bloating could have go down because he's passed some of the worms @Cjbear087
  18. Keep Stable water parameters you can add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 10 gallons that will aid Gill function and add essential electrolytes and as @Tony srecommended add Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect and monitor if you notice any Reddening or fuzzy appearance then would do a course maracyn and ick x
  19. Can you post a picture of the fish it will help with a diagnosis he's how you can tell if your dealing with ich or epistylis if it's ich I would treat with ick X and a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons as ich causes massive electrolyte loss and the salt will add back in essential electrolytes
  20. Thought you would have some useful information about pea puffers

    Worms!

    If your going to be using anything in another tank I would steriliser now if not I would what till you have finished 4 weeks treatment to steriliser everything
  22. Sorry to say he might not have much time left
  23. Am seeing conflicting information on whether you have to trim pea puffers teeth if they don't your more than likely dealing with wasting disease for that you would want to treat with levamisole active ingredient in expel p once a week for 4 weeks and black out the tank during treatment as levamisole a light sensitive medication am to tag @Odd Duck keeps pea puffer for a second opinion on wether you need to trim there teeth

    Worms!

    Camallanus worms can survive for 3 weeks outside of the fish when it infects your fish it can take 4 weeks before you start to see symptoms I would always be concerned about cross contamination with the way you feed cross contamination is very unlikely I couldn't say no chance of cross contamination usually with flubendazole you want to do 4 full courses of treatment 1 week apart that's what I have done with NT labs fluke and wormer that contains flubendazole 1000mg/100ml I found it to be very effective @TOtrees
