colo3000 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) pH: 7 Nitrates: 10ppm Hardness: 150ppm Nitrite: 0 Ammonia: 0 KH/Buffer: 80ppm Water Temperature: 77F It appears my Pygmy Corydora has a large hole in its stomach/swimbladder(?) I’m not sure how this would happen and also am not sure if there’s any treatment for this. The hole appears to be a clean ellipse shape, no redness or jagged edges. It is laying on its side and will struggle to swim around sideways on the bottom. Any advice would be appreciated.

Guppysnail Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I remembered reading another post on here about something similar. I’m not sure where this ended but you may want to reach out and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's more than likely It injuryed it's self by swiming into something in the tank I would Qarantine and treat with maracyn to cover against any secondary bacterial infection see how he goes it might heal given time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colo3000 Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 Just an update. Put it in a quarantine tank and didn't treat it with any medications, and it slowly recovered back to 100% again. Wasn't really expecting it to make a recovery, but I'm always learning many of my assumptions are wrong in this hobby. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
