PAC Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone! I ended up with a sickly batch of Cory cats when I went to the lfs a few weeks ago. One of the original three is still alive, and has been through the meds trio process. Has anyone seen their Cory cat look like this before? I’m not sure how to treat? Looks like it hasn’t been eating? It has this exact same white sunken spot on the other side, so it can’t be Ich. Is it just not eating? It is lethargic...still in quarantine tank. edit: the other two from the same batch developed fungus and sadly passed before the meds could take care of it. My main tank is very healthy with great water parameters. Will add a picture of that. Edited November 1, 2020 by PAC Additional info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh world Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 what is the temp and water parameters? are any other fish acting weird or sick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 Thank you, Josh! All of the water parameters are perfect—temp is 76 degrees and all API water test results came out great, and he is the only one acting weird or sick. He came with a group of sickly Cory cats, sadly. The others developed a fungus, he has the odd symptoms noted. I have 2 adult Cory cats in my main tank doing well. I also went to a different lfs and got 3 more...all of which are doing well. Just this poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh world Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 If you have any meds at home use them if not petsmart sells api salt that is very chap and that I recommend. If you have the med trio that works better. For a quarantine use a plastic tub or any extra tank that you have. For the salt treat 1 table spoon per 3 gallons. Wait a week than do a 50 % water change. hope he gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been through the med trio round this last week...Just put in a dose of general cure...am nervous to repeat all 3 back to back?? Have you done that before? I have a 10 gallon quarantine tank he is in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh world Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I would not do it back to back. Give it a week and let the little guy rest and heal up. after a week if he is still weak put him through another round of meds. best of luck to you and your fish.
