Frodo Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Hello One of my 4 Corys has developed a lump right below his mouth. I feel like it's size increases and reduces on its own. This is also my smallest Cory and I am always a bit concerned with him ever since I have bought it home. It is one on the left side in the photo. Tried my best with the picture. Thanks. Parameters: 30G tank planted tank (swords, water sprite, dwarf hairgrass, frog bits) PH- 7.0 to 7.2 Ammonia- Somewhere between 0 and 0.25ppm. I can’t really can’t make out for sure if it is 0.25 on the chart. I am regular with my water changes though. Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- Between 0 to 5ppm.

Administrators Cory Posted October 19, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 19, 2020 Interesting, I think over time it'll probably rupture, and then you just need to keep it from getting infected and it'll probably heal up. So just keep an eye for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Update: He is still alive but he scares me sometimes by playing dead. He was lying on his back flat today. Thought he was dead, went to pick him up disheartened but he ran off! I can’t understand him. He looks healthy apart of the lump. It hasn’t changed in size. Is it normal for them to do this? Ph-7.2 Ammonia/Nitrite- 0 Nitrate- Between 5 to 10. planted tank. 30G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted November 11, 2020 Author Share Posted November 11, 2020 Update: The lump has cleared out on its own. He is now a fat little piggy. Couldn’t be happier. FYI- I didn’t treat him for anything since I didn’t know what it was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
