Kauaidoug Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 My tanks 1 month old, this green common Cory was one of the first fish I got and he has another green Cory and then I have 3 of the jeweled variety. All in my 20 gallon community. The water checks out the same as has over last few days. Yesterday morning I saw him in a hidden away place in the tank and he looked all twisted?, definetly not right. I watched for a while then got him out. He tried to swim away but he just went in circles and really couldn't swim so I put him in a bucket outside thinking he would be dead but he was still alive this morning. I picked him up and held the little but his body just flopped. Anyone familiar with this? I put him in a guppy pond I have outside, I hope he doesn't have a disease? I should have put in my little holding tank but didn't think of that, I truly thought he would be dead. All the other fish seem fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Google fish TB and see if that's what you are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kauaidoug Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 I looked up fish TB and it seems it could be anything but I did wash my hands diligently! HAd not heard of this and seems a bit scary so we will see. My Cory didn't really fit into any of the many varied symptoms other than spinal and not able to swim properly. I will watch the other fish closer for sure. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
