Rorey Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just look for some help ID'g what might be going on with my Corys so I can make the best treatment decision. pH = 6.8 Am/N-ite/N-ate = 0-0-5ppm KH = 2 GH = 12 Temp 78 Of the 6, these two are the worst. 2 others have one small patch each. 2 Have none. Eating well but stressed. Just transferred to the hospital tank. I have Ich-X, Melafix, Maracyn Oxy and aquarium salts available immediately. Happy to order in or pick up something more appropriate. I am new to treating fish. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Looks like fungus to me. Could be columnaris. Check treatment recommendations for both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laritheloud Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Barbells look eroded, too, so I'm going to agree and say it's probably bacterial. Kanaplex/Furan 2 should help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorey Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Thank you all so much for sharing your thoughts on what is afflicting my Corys. Orders in for Kanaplex/Furan 2. Given that it is going to be a few days before I can get these Columnaris treatments in (Furan-2 has been very difficult to source), would you suggest any interim treatment?
