MaxM Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi All, I have a young cory fish that seems to be suffering from Swim Bladder. I looked up on line what to do for swim bladder and one of the things it says to do is treat with salt. However, I do know that there are some species of fish that don't take well to salt. There seems to be conflicting information about whether corys can or cannot tolerate salt treatments. Anybody have experience with this issue?

Mitch_ScruffyCityAquatics Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I don’t believe I’ve had a swim bladder issue with cories, but I have treated them with salt before. The highest I’ve ever gone was Level 2 from this page:https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/aquarium-salt-for-sick-fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxM Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 @Mitch Norton Thanks. I did see that, but it does not mention about which fish should not be medicated with salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) If it swin bladder problems I would no feed for a couple of days treat with aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons if no improvement in 5days treat with maracyn swim bladder can be caused by a bacterial infection what are your water parameters Edited January 25, 2021 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
