Hi everyone, my son and I started a 10 gallon freshwater tank in December. We did a fishless cycle before stocking it. It is a planted tank with dirt and gravel substrate. We currently have 8 neon tetras, 2 RCS, 2 pepper Corys, 1 Milena Cory, a Panda Cory, and a Nerite Snail. The tank has been doing great and everyone has been happy and healthy. Saturday we went out of town and I shut the light off in the tank when we left around Noon until we got back Sunday night. I'm not sure if the light has anything to do with it, but this evening my son noticed that the pandy cory was acting weird. He was just sitting in the corner of the tank hardly moving. He is usually the most active fish in the tank, so it seemed a little odd. I watched him for a little while and he didn't move much. One of the pepper corys came over and nudged him a few times until he moved under a plant. While I was watching him, I noticed that there are really tiny little white balls around the tank. Some on the glass, some along the edge of the tank on the gravel. They look like tinier versions of the white balls on snowcap candy. I did a water change and scraped off what I could of the white balls. The panda has moved a few times, but just isn't himself.
Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my panda cory or what those little white balls are?
Please help!
