the sick fish is an Emerald cory cat a little less than 1 inch
it has 2 white/clear blister like bubbles in the center of fore head about the size of a pin head, torn fin on top,and breathes much faster than the other fish
before I changed the water the tank tested nitrates=20ppm, nitrites=0ppm, ph=7.5,kh=180ppm,gh=30ppm, ammonia=0.20ppm
I use the API liquid ammonia test and the API test strips for everything else
my tank is a 20 gal, I think 20gal high but I 'm not sure, which has been cycled 1 month now(set up tank 2 months ago and levels good 1 month ago)
my filter is an 50 gal Aqua clear and I also have an airstone
the tank has 4 emerald cory cats, 4 albino cory cats all 3/4 to 1 inch long
I make a 25% water change and vaccum gravel every saturday (today is saturday). I put in a powder that is supposed to bring the ph to 7 to the new water before I pour it in the tank
I got the sick emerald cory cat along with 2 albinos corys and the 3 other emeralds corys 4 days ago from petsmart. I floated the bag in the tank for an hour, then added half as much water that was in the bag from the tank and floated them for an hour, then i poured them into the tank. When I got them they all appeared fine except for the one that is currently sick which had a small tear on the fin on its back.
I have not added any new rocks or decorations to my tank
I feed them spirulina tablets and goldfish pebbles, I give them a pinch of the the pebbles in the morning and then give them a broken up spirulina tablet in the afternoon. they also eat the green hair like algae that grows on the drift wood
WILL THIS SPREAD TO MY OTHER FISH???
