Martinique Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 What happened to my cory cat???? It has a weird white thing under his or her mouth. It is active and eats normal though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOtrees Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I hope I or someone else will be able to help, but the photo you uploaded isn't clear. Is the cory on top of a rock/hut in the middle of the photo? It's too blurry/grainy to tell, but it almost looks like a bit of its face/mouth is missing.

Colu Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 What are your water parameters and does the it have a fuzzy appearance to it if you can get a more close up picture it will help with a diagnosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinique Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 I had to taken a picture from a distantie because when i get close to the tank, it hikes. The fish doesn't look fuzzy or someting, he is active and eats and beiden that white thing it looks healthy. Aswel as my other fish, my ramsj even have eggs again, so water parameters are good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It could be a bacteria infection or something else could be going on its difficult to tell what I would do is quarantine and do a course of kanaplex to cover against any possible bacteria infection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannon Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 If its white and fuzzy its likely a bacterial infection. I haven't dealt with something like this, but I've been told maracyn is a good medication for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOtrees Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Maybe some better pics will clarify things, but from what I see it doesn’t look great. Are you in the USA, i.e. do you have access to fish medicine? I’m in Canada, and my approach is based on a general difficulty to obtain effective medicines when a disease or problem is advanced, as it appears to be here. I would remove this fish to a quarantine or medicine tank (doesn’t need to be cycled, doesn’t have to be complicated) and treat with salt. Removing the fish has many benefits: you can control its environment much better, you can monitor better, and the risk of transmission to other fish is mitigated. It’s also a lot easier to treat five or 10 gallons (or less) it is to treat a much larger tank. Above, you asked about marine salt. That’s fine unless you have any plants in the tank. If you have any plants or mosses, the amount of salt necessary to come anywhere close to helping the fish will absolutely ruin your plants. Personally, I use kosher salt. It comes in a much finer/flakier form than aquarium salt, so it dissolves much more easily. Most marine salt has ingredients that require the mixed water to sit for many hours before it can be used, so be cautious of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinique Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Ooh ok thank you, i live in The Netherlands, and there are some good fish stores here so i will go for information there. I will try to catch the fish and put it in a separate tank. By the way, for now i have only seasalt on hand, how much should i put in the water?
