Cory Down!!!

[Lcouturewine20057]

Okay I came home today to find my bronze Cory swimming funny. Upon further inspection I noticed his side fin by his gill is completely gone. He is eating fine but you can tell he is a little freaked about the situation. His tank mates are black rasbora hetra(1 in ea.) albino glolight tetra (2 in ea.) and an albino Cory . I'm not sure what caused the injury but I am at a loss for what to do or if he will be okay. Can he recover or will he gimped out forever. Also none of the fish are new to the tank if that helps.

It may have been a bacterial infection that caused the fin to errode away.
It can grow back with clean water though. Do you have a test kit to measure your water parameters? For the time being, I would just up your pwc schedule and keep an eye on it.

My levels are perfect but one day the fin was there perfectly healthy and today no fin at all
