    Bronze Cory with Injury?

    in Diseases

    Posted

    Update:

    My family member informed me that the bronze cory unfortunately did not make it 😞 However they have made plans to get a larger tank and rehome some of the fish. I just wanted to thank all of you who helped.

    0 KH is always a concern, as it could be resulting in a PH crash. For example, you measured it PH at 6.5. I am curious what the PH is out of the tap. It could be significantly higher, but can plummet and fluctuate due to 0 KH. That can certainly stress fish out and cause issues.

     

    my areas water has  no kh out of the tap. I'll definitely get them some crushed coral and let them know the benefits. The ph is 6.5 and the gh is 0 which is weird because after retesting it shows their aquarium as having 180.

    The  high levels of nitrates you have can effect a fish immune system I would do a 50 water change to get them below 40 

    Alright I'll get a water change done, it is incredibly overstocked. They have 1 Siamese algae eater, 1 teacup platy, 3 albino bronze cory's, 6 neon tetras, and 6 white cloud mountain minnows all in a 5 gallon vertical rectangular tank. Any ideas for how to tell them that they need to destock their tank?

    Hi @Colu I tested the water and here are the results 

    Gh 180 ppm

     

    Kh 0 ppm

     

    Ph 6.5

     

    Nitrite 0

     

    Nitrate 80 ppm

    I unfortunately have no ammonia test so there is no way to have that number, the infection sight has gotten a little larger and more red since yesterday. They ordered the Kanaplex and said it would be at their house in 2 days.

    Hi all,

    I am posting this for one of my family member's.

    They have a 5 gallon (which is pretty overstocked) I was not able to get any of the water tested but most of the fish and the other bronze cory's appeared healthy and active.

    This one is not moving to much and according to them stops moving at times. I think it might be a wound from a growth but am not sure. Im not sure how to best advise them as to care for this beyond the normal aquarium  salt, antibacterial and antifungal dosing.

    Here are some photos I took at the time.

    Any help appreciated.

    I was correct that it was a pacific island chain but ran out of guesses.

    I was close as well but I'm not that well versed in the south pacific islands. Looks like I need to crack open my atlas LOL.

    I've been enjoying this one as well! Got it in 3 today. All those fjords certainly helped narrow down the area to look.

    I do use a map, but usually after my first guess. I would never get it without a map.

    And a helpful hint, try not to use large countries to triangulate. When the answer was Ukraine sometime last week it told me it was thousands of km away from Russia. It must go by the center of the country or something?

    Glad your enjoying it. I have no Idea what they use to calculate distance I though it was the capitol but I know that moscow is not over a thousand miles from kyiv. I've never used a map before to solve it before, but I will admit this is one of my first correctly solved ones.

    Hi all, I was inspired by @Patrick_G's Worlde Thread and have decided to share a version of Wordle That I have been Playing. 

    This Version is called Worldle and consists of geography instead of words, I have had an incredibly fun time playing this game. 

    I dedicate this thread to fellow forum members so that they can post their results of this fun game which can be found at this Link

    Though I would start out posting todays successful attempt

    Water changes and detritus worms

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    The detritus worms are in almost every aquarium so theres nothing to you can do to stop them. I see as an actual benefit to the aquarium they eat bits of stuff that I would normally need to gravel vac, and keep the aquarium healthy. They also serve as a good barometer of waste in the tank when they show up for a few days that usually means your overfeeding, have a large amount of organic waste, and need do a water change and cleaning.
