Onepointeighty · 06-17-2007, 09:50 AM

hi guys,

iv got 2 cory cats, one of which has something wrong with him

above his right eye developed a small sist looking bump that is light in color and he doesnt really have any balance anymore. he sits around all day doing nothing while the other cory is very active. yesterday he was going nuts swimming violently and flashing and trying to jump out.

any idea what is wrong??

my water parameters are good.

amonia= 0 ppm
nitrite= 0 ppm
nitrate= 10 ppm
PH= 7.6

although they are good now the nitrites recently just dropped off from being 2.0 ppm

tank mates are in the sig and they all seem healthy except for my one cory

-vinny

If I were you I would start looking up parasites and see if something matches your symptoms. You can just put the symptom in a websearch and I bet something would come up.

If not parasite then look up skin diseases. Both would hopefully be helpful.

Also if you have a camera and can post a pic there are folks here who might be able to help with that.

Thats where I would start if I were you.

Your little guy looks like it has a skin parasite. Google some information on it or bring some pictures to us for further information.
