I started the salts because my Betta was beginning to get some white spots, and continued with salts after doing more research, (in which I never came across anything that said cories and other catfish are sensitive to salts.. until today searching that specifically) most fish enthusiasts...

Well I did a 60% today since I found the dead cory, and didn't add anymore of the salt today. I've only added half the salts that is directed, and for fear of over cleaning (which I've done) I'll just wait until I do my next tank change a week from now. When I've done PWC more than once a week...

well I can certainly stop adding the salts, but those signs have never been shown in any of my cories, and I do spend a lot of time watching them.

Yes, I tested my tap water before I re-set up my tank. It was suggested to me to do the salts to prevent diseases, over all health, ect. and to only replace the salt when doing a tank change. My other two cories have handled it (and until today) the third just fine. As stated above I've had all...

To start off I have: 10 gallon tank 1 double tail male betta (now) 1 juli cory 1 spotted cory (had 2 juli cory) temp 80 100 watt Aqueon heater standard Aqueon filter 1 trimmed down amazon sword a few scattered Egeria densa ammo 0, nitrites 0, nitrates between 5.0 and 10 ppm ph 7.8 (its high...

lol thanks I'm glad to see it =)

Aside from the lump on his pelvic fin, it was a single white dot on his head, which is now almost impossible to tell was even there. From everything I've read from infections to ich, it seems its all treated somewhat the same. Raised temp and salts. It isn't getting any bigger, it isn't...

Its only been a couple of days but the one white spot on his head is just about completely gone. Having the new heater I think has helped a lot. My old one was a 50 watt and I replaced it with a 100 watt with the temp on the dial which helps (me at least) quite a bit. With it just being warmer...

I will =) thanks

Alright well I've added the salt, and picked up a better heater for my tank. I'll be putting it in tonight.

Salts as well as PWC I've read helps fungal as well, so I think I'm just going to go with the salts and see if there's any improvement. I just got done with a 50% PWC. By any chance do you know if one should wait a little while before adding salt right after a change? or should I be alright to...

Now that I looked it up yes, it is the pelvic fin, right side, unfortunately it doesn't help that he's like a calico with all his colors, that particular fin happens to be white.. The mass is a little south of center on that fin.

This is the lump, its the best picture I could get, its the white mass on the long fin I don't know technical terms.. The white spot is above his gill I'm really sorry these turned out so poorly.. I'm no photographer.

Ok pictures soon hopfully. I have no idea how they turned out, my Betta isn't.. cooperative.

One looks like a grain of salt, the other is like a white lump. The small one does look fuzzy though.
