What?! Shocking! Thank you Darrel. I've learned something new and entirely interesting today Little fish releasing a toxin in self defense... wow. That probably badly complicates the shipping of corydoras.

Hi all,

Self-poisoning in

Corydoras(ln7)

spp. definitely is a thing.

cheers Darrel

... got hit harder. And now that it's bouncing back better, it's likely due to the nitrite being processed properly by the cycled filter. It can cause septicemia-like bleeding and sometimes be caught in time and fish will improve once the ammonia/nitrite are processed or neutralized with some neutralizing ...

Hemorrhaging septicemia seems to often be the last step in a chain of afflictions. The fish turns reddish over large portions of the body, the fins turn reddish too. I am not vet but when my fish had it before, I'd say it wasn't ...

I don't wan't to say too much but looks like the fish might live after all, at the time I wrote the original post it was laying on top of the internal filter upside down and breathing from the surface. After a day and a half in a bucket with some catappaleaves and very oxynegated water I decided to ...

I did isolate it in a bucket with a cycled spongefilter and now when I woke up it swims around like always I don't really know what to do, don't have a heater for it either since the aquarium they(the cw009) are in is infact the quarantine guess ill have to setup a new quarantine for the future, sad...

Sorry to hear about this. If the fish is alive, isolate it. Give the other fish clean water and good aeration. For the sick fish, do the same. I have rarely found antibiotics to make much of a difference in the outcome.

Sadly one of the, cw009, corys I got a handful of days ago have hemmorhagic septicemia, didn't even consider it(and never had to deal with it before) and thought it was either a mechanical injury or something wrong with the water but after pinpointing it I am ...

kind of looks like hemorrhagic septicemia to me.. thats what my L-66 looked like when they were sick.. red blotchs all over

As long as the food is kept dry, it lasts a long time. I buy bulk buckets (e.g. 10-12 liter/2.5-3gal) of my [or should I say the fishes'] favourite foods, and take out a "portion" as and when needed (every few weeks or so) that I keep in a smaller container - that way, the bucket isn't ope...

I have been feeding earthworm sticks supplemented with brine shrimp sticks and also some seafood flakes. The sticks are brand new from Ken's but the seafood flake is fairly old, like over 1 year. Whats the shelf life of flake food? I think it's about six months. I have some older food I got with a ...

Me too.

I have also had symptoms of bloat when fish has not received any form of frozen food for a long time.

Yes, like I said there's probably many causes.

@Mike, I'm talking specifically about the death described as "bloated tummy and brown mush instead of guts", which was described by Larry Vires (Pleco breeder) just a few posts ago, as well as El Tofi a few years back when his Pseudacanthicus passed away. It is indeed likely that poor food...

WIf it's the generic "belly goes bloated and the guts turn to mush" that sometimes happens with plecos, it's speculated that this is caused by a parasite infection. There's probably many causes, but it's definitely also caused by feeding the fish rotten/tainted food. In my case I found I ...

When I looked at this before, I seem to remember that there is very hard to treat once you see symptoms. A quick look around the web seems to indicate that sulfa or certain types of anti-biotics are treatements. But of course, if it is not EXACTLY that, it is quite possible that this doesn't help. I...

I tried the search feature but got results that only mentioned that the poster might have experienced it but haven't read one yet on possible treatments and if there is no treatment what should be done.

have you tried a forum Froum Search? It gives quite a few hits....

Can someone please direct me to any previous post about hemorrhagic septicemia. I think my whole stock of plecos have been infected with it. Everything died except for one out of 13. Any info would be appreciated.
