Corydora problems - White Coat and sunken in chest

[cornelius85]

Hi I have 8 Panda corys. Two of them have issues

First one  developped a white coat on it. It is visible when you look at on specific angles. 

What this could be, and what would be the treatment. We do not have your med trio over here.

Is it fungus?

 

The second one has his chest sunken in from both sides. it is like this since I got him, its been three months. I thought it might be internal parasites but, it is active eating well growing well and its poop iooks normal. any idea?

• pH: 7.0
• Nitrates:10-20 ppm
• Hardness: 10 dH
• Nitrite:0
• Ammonia:0
• KH/Buffer:7 dh
• Water Temperature: 25 degre celsius

It looks like parasites. are they eating?

I would treat with the following...

-API General Cure (assuming you have this where you live)

-Aquarium Salt

Yeah they are eating quite well actually. But we do not have api general cure. If its parasites I can use seachem paraguard as it is filter/plant safe.

I would start treating with aquarium salt and para guard

One dose of paraguard seems to solve it. Applied it yesterday and today most of the white layer was gone. Gonna keep dosing for a couple of days more just to be sure.

 

But the second cory with the sunken in chest, could this be somekind of genetic defect?

Sunken belly it could need feeding up it probably loss condition

[cornelius85]

I dont think that is the case. Like I said on my first post it's eating well and growing well active, poop is normal, even spawned.

 Keep up with salt and paraguard and monitor for a couple  of day if still eating and active after that I would just monitor
