So two weeks (Sunday Feb 23rd) ago I bought some Corydoras and a few days later noticed they had red gill plates and red lines going down their body. My water parameters were ideal and I asked on here for some advice and got no responses. Luckily, the problem went away.
Now, the corydoras are fine but a lot of my White Cloud Mountain Minnows have the same problem. Ive done water changes and kept up checking the water parameters, everything seems fine. I added 1 teaspoon of table salt on Monday, and the fish appeared fine on Tuesday morning. By this morning (Wed/March 12) they had red gills again. I don't know what else to do as from all the parasite descriptions, my fish don't have any other symptoms.. just red gill plates and the lateral line was red two weeks ago on the Corydoras, but now its just red gills.
No scratching, no erratic swimming, just red gills on roughly a third of my WCMM.
