Sick cory

[Oscar98]

Every other week would be good?

Do you pay for water? What gallon tank is the cory in?

 

[aquandrew]

the problem is, you dont have a heater in there if its at room temp and room temp is not stable. what size tank is it? even 55 gallon tanks aren't stable at room temp and can cause problems. this is most common among goldfish, because of the temperature changes, but it can happen with other fish.

It's best to have one to keep a stable temp. This doesn't mean you have to keep it at 80 degrees all the time. It's the stability that's so important. Like others said, took temp wont stay stable.

So should I put the heater in and crank it up?

I would have the heater set to 80 degrees so that way it stays at a stable temp

Good news the bubbles on his skin are deflating and he's swimming searching for food again yay! But one thing the heater is stuck on high so my tank is at 86 degrees yikes

It's not that I have another thermometer it's just that I need the heater to get the water I'm putting in to the right temp
