Hi, We have our female cory with an unknown white lump. Have looked at tons of pictures and text but nothing really fits the discription. Pictures attached as it is the easiest way to describe the problem. The lump is not like cotton wool or anything, it looks fairly smooth.
Tank details as requested:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20
PH 7.5
Temperature 25.5C
The tank is 60 liters and was set up about 6 months ago.
The filtration is Tetratec EasyCrystal Filter 250 and the EasyCrystal FilterBox 300. Unknown L/hour but the filter came with the tank
There are 6 fish in the tank: 2 corydoras:female 5cm = 2" long without the tail and male 3cm = 1.25" long), 2 male mollies: one 4cm = 1.75" long and the other one 2.5cm = 1" long and 2 female balloon mollies: both about 2cm = .75" long.
The water was changed 2 weeks ago (was planning to do a water change today as it is done wvery 2 weeks). The gravel is vacumed with every water change. . We usually remove about 25-30% of the water. The tank has some aquarium salt added to it.
We change the decor in the tank when cleaning every two weeks, but all the decor we use is their old ones and no new ones have been added for 5 months.
We feed our babies with frozen bloodworm, shrimp or mosquito larvae in the morning and a bit of TetraMin flakes for tropical fish (BioActive formula) in the evening (and King British Catfish pellet food for the corydoras). Their diet has been the same all the time.
These photos can be clicked on and enlarged.
