Noah Dulaney Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I am pretty new to the fishkeeping hobby and have a Bronze Cory in a 30 gallon community tank that has this growth on both sides of its body. It has been eating and acting completely normal ever since I first started to notice the white spots. It started as a white spot on the tail but disappeared within the first day or so and I thought nothing of it. The Cory now has a spot on both sides but it doesn't really look like ick. All of the recent water tests for pH, High Range pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate came out fine. Any ideas on what it is and how to treat it?

Brandon p Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) I think it is ICK but it could be a bacterial infection. I am ask for help and get on my computer to look at the pictures better@Colu Edited November 24, 2021 by Brandon p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Could be Epistylis he's how you tell the two a part the best treatment for Epistylis is kanaplex in food if your not sure weather it's ich or Epistylis you can treat with kanaplex in food and ick x or seachems paragraud to treat the water column he's a food recipe just in case you need it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Dulaney Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 From pictures and descriptions I don't think it is ether Ick or Epistylis. It may be a fungal infection but I'm not shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 To cover all bases you could try feeding kanaplex in food and ick x in the water column as ick x treats fungal infections as well as ich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
