Aquarium Advice Addict
Hey everyone, I have a 29G with a GBR, 7 albino cories (w 5 fry) 8 harlequin rasboras, 4 neon tetras and 1 GWC (last of his kind )
I have never had an issue with my tank so I am unsure what this is. There is a worm like protrusion on the back of my cory's dorsal fin. It just appeared tonight (it wasn't there 2 hrs ago when I fed them) and seems to be bothering her. It looks like it is attached and I wasn't sure if she tore her fin or not, but after looking around it seems it could be a parasite.
All I have right now is Aquarium salt and a QT tank (haven't set it up yet) and I have no money to get meds until Monday. Any possible diagnoses/treatments?
Also, does anyone know if the other fish are potentially infected or at risk by this point in time?
So I had a really hard time getting a good pic of the thing but I am putting the best one up anyways. I also took a short video because it is much easier to see (couldn't get a clear screen shot from the vid).
DSCF1133 - YouTube There is the video of the worm (w/e it is )
TIA for all help, it is much appreciated. I love my cories and I will not take it well if I can't help them
PS Sorry for the shakey vid with the stupid comment in it... It's 2am and I am TIRED lol
