Great tips. Thank you!

it's hard to tell if he's eating. He is slightly more active than he was a week ago, but I don't see him foraging for food like he used to. There does seem to be waste on the bottom though, so I'm guessing they're both eating. Probably jumping the gun, like you say.

Update Hey folks, As an update, I've been treating the Cory and pleco with kanaplex (3 doses) and Paracleanse (2 doses), but still seeing the redness and Popeye in the Cory (pics attached). Any thoughts on next steps? Continue treating with those meds or others? Let them rest for a few more...

Very informative - thanks! I picked up some Kanaplex and gave a dose of that plus Paracleanse in the quarantine tank for the pleco and cory. Is it better to continue feeding or withhold food while they're in quarantine?

I haven't noticed him pooping, but I can keep an eye on it. He doesn't look like he's eating, unfortunately. Just sits there and squirms a little bit to re-adjust every once in a while. By salt, do you mean Epsom salt or Aquarium salt? I have both, but I've heard corydoras are extremely...

Related to the overfeeding, I'm not really sure how to feed my middle swimmers when my danio and guppies swarm the food immediately when I put it in. Any ideas? I do supplement with zucchini and cucumber every once in a while, but not sure that makes much difference.

Okay, I do have some paracleanse, so I will start that tonight and order some kanamycin. Thanks for the suggestion! Possibly important info: both the pleco and Cory were given to me by a neighbor that was giving up their tank. This was several months ago, but maybe they've had the worms for a...

Here's a pic from above of the Cory Thanks again for the help!

Sorry, yes. Pleco, not oto I did a liquid and strip test from siphoned bottom water and got: ammonia = 0ppm nitrite = 0ppm nitrate = 5ppm hardness = 150ppm chlorine = 0ppm total alkalinity = 160ppm ph = 7.4 This is after a 50% water change, though. Honestly, the nitrates may have gotten in...

Attached are pics. Do these also point to a disease and not just overfeeding? Assuming it's not Dropsy, is there a good treatment? I've got the Cory in a 10g quarantine tank with 50/50 old/fresh water now and was going to let him settle for a night before starting something like maracyn (or if...

Thank you both for your replies - it's very helpful. I took another look and the scales don't look to be protruding to me; however, the white does seem to be pimple-like. I have noticed my danio and guppies are bloated, which I attributed to over feeding (no chance it's fry), so have been...

Hey folks, I have a Cory that's been more sedentary than usual for the past week. I first noticed him in an unusual attitude (laying sideways) last week but could swim when disturbed. Since then, he's been just sitting mostly still on the sand when he's normally more active than that. He moves...
