Corydoras injured… should I treat with something?

[Karen B.]

Greetings 

One of my adult corydoras managed to get stuck somewhere and injured himself pretty badly trying to get free.

Day 1

 

And here is today. I am not sure if it’s healing properly or if we are starting to see fungus. I am wondering what I should be doing?

Note that I just come back from a 2 week vacation. For day 1-2 I put him on a small container (he wouldn’t move and kept hiding) until I could do a thorough cleaning of the tank. On day 3, i did a 50% WC on the aquarium, vacuumed the bottom, cut the plants, etc. I let the water settle down (a bit of debris was floating as I moved, replanted, trimmed, etc) and added my sick fish back in the tank. Since then he Is behaving normally, swimming around, looking for food.

My tank is 20 gallons community tank,pH 6.6, kh 0 (working oh that), gh 300, temp 75, 0/0/10, planted, Aqueon quietflow 30 HOB filter + aquarium coop airsponge. Current population : 3 honey gourami, 6 Chili rasboras and 6 adults/8 babies false julii corydoras 

 

Should I :

1 - do nothing and watch?

2 - add something to the main tank (API stresscoat, pimafix, maracyn, paracleanse, salt and Ick-x is what I currently have).

3 - Tomorrow I am receiving 12 Chili rasboras that I will put in quarantine in a 10 gallons with the aquarium coop meds. Should I transfer him in that tank?

Thank you for your time!

I would say put him in the quarantine tank and dose him with fungal medicines, as well as medicines made to heal wounds.

The chilis shouldnt pick on him.

If it's developing a fuzzy appearance I would treat with ick x that treats fungal infections
