In case anyone has a similar issues, the sesame seed looking things are Nerite snail eggs Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ok, it's been a while since my original post. Obviously, as I mentioned earlier, the cory died. I've been having some issues with our tetras. Two of them have white balls by their mouths. I have medicated the tank several times. The issue seems to be halted. Not going away, but not getting worse...

Yes, I did that initially. It's at about 75 degrees right now,

Ok, so it's been a little while since I dosed with the triple sulfa. Here's my question..... Is this supposed to make the white bubbles on their faces go away, or just stop further spread? They are still acting fine, (swimming, eating, ect), but the bubbles are still no better. Any suggestions??

The petsmart by my house didn't have any, but I will look around. I will keep you posted on how the triple sulfa works.

I live in the states, maybe I need to order online.

Since the first medicine didn't seem to work, I picked up some triple sulfa last night and put in the first dose. Hopefully this works. If not, do you know where I can find the Furan-2 or Kanaplex? I didn't see them anywhere.

I was reading online where someone said not to use nitrofurazone with shrimp. I do have two RCS in the tank,do you know if the triple sulfa is ok to use?

I'm not sure if it treats that or not. Is there medicine specifically for columnaris?

I finished the meds, replaced the carbon filter, and did a PWC. Again, everything looks the same, but the fish still swim and eat normally. Any suggestions??

The medication is Marineland All-in-one. It says to put 2 tablets in every day for 5 days. I am on the 5th day, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The fish still all act normal (swimming around and eating), but the "bubble" things are not going away. I'm not sure it will work, but I don't know...

Ok I will try that too. Right now they get flake food and algae pellets. However, I think it might have been sick, a few if my neon tetras have developed a bubble looking thing at the mouth. I am treating them for bacteria and fungal issues, hopefully it works.

I got a medication from the LFS that is supposed to treat bacterial and fungal issues. Let's hope this helps!! I have also turned the heat up to 80 degrees.

I'm not sure that's it. I looked it up and it describes a lot of skin issues and restless behavior. Mine look normal other than the bubble in their face and act and eat like the rest.

Well I read a lot of different forums with people having the same issues where the fungal medication didn't work and the fish died. I have not read any posts where it worked. I am willing to try anything, but I wonder if I should maybe put the ones with the issue in a different tank. I would...

Any ideas how to handle that? Can I get rid of it? I'm worried it will spread to the others

Yes, I tested the water and everything is great. I am new at this, so I have not experienced ick or neon tetra disease. I am not at home right now, but it looks like a white bubble on the side if it's mouth. At first I thought it picked up a piece if gravel, but when it didn't come off I knew...

OK, I really need some help here please! I had recently posted about a sick cory cat that I had, and now I think we have sick neons. For a brief overview, my son and I started our tank back in December. It is a 10 gallon planted tank with dirt and gravel substrate. We did a fishless cycle...

Good luck with yours, hopefully you find him hiding somewhere. I'm going to clean the tank again tonight, still not convinced those white balls are eggs, and I will watch the rest carefully.

You were correct, cornflakes, the fish was most definitely sick. I found it dead this morning nestled in one of the plants. :( very sad. I don't know what was wrong, it was a rather small fish, maybe just wasn't going to make it from the beginning? I tested the water levels two days ago and...

Ok, now I really need help!! I came home to find the cory upside down against the side of the filter. I turned the filter off assuming I would have to remove the fish. Then, he started swimming, but not well. Then he went upside down in one of the plants. I went to remove him, and he swam away...

I was thinking the same thing, gosh I hope you guys are right!

I checked the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels and all are great. Again, all if the other fish are doing wonderfully, it's just the panda cory that is acting weird

Above is a picture if the cory and one if the white balls. The cory does not seem to be eating, but I see no visible signs of injury or disease.
