Hey mate! Is that a glass or acrylic tank?

It looks bacterial. Send those photos to Seachem and see what they recommend. Let us know what they say.

Thank you. I think they are much more than they appear to be and what people give them credit for.

Chloe & Cowboy, If you are concerned that treating the whole tank will damage the bio-filter you can make up a medicated food mix to target the sick fish. I used focus/kanaplex/metroplex mixed into flakes to target a sick juvenile corydoras trilineatus. This little guy lost parts of his pectoral...

Does anybody know a wide range ectoparasite medication that is safe for corydoras? Thanks Seachem ParaGuard. http://www.seachem.com/paraguard.php My Corys have show flashing for some time now. And sometimes they do this "crazy catfish" routine which is best described as lengthy wild uncon...

Very cool about the electric catfish. 350 Volts of fun! Less cool when you take the volts through your thumb. Still, he's a little guy so it doesn't hurt too bad yet. Interestingly, the voltages reported for these guys seem to vary by about 100V - I've seen as high as 450V and yet you're also not t...

Thanks for the replies. I am in the UK and would need to order these meds overseas. I posted a topic on Ian's site (Corydoras World) and he suggested trying some Primafix plus a little salt, i am going to go with that just now. When i got back from work today i found two dead, but the others look a...

We did some basic tests on the food my electric catfish eats (Hikari Sinking Carnivore Pellets) and discovered that the dry pellets weighed only about 30% of what the wet ones did. So yes, dry pellets can swell a lot. I don't worry about it with the electric catfish because he generally doesn't eve...

My third theory is a new food I used two days prior to her death. She ate some Hikari Micro Wafers. I did tests afterwards and saw that these wafers swell to over twice their size after about 10 minutes in water. Could of these wafers swelled up inside her and would it have caused her death so quic...

Hello Andrew, The post by TwoTankAmin is spot on. You should take a look at the SeaChem web site as it lists some excellent antibiotic medications for your fish. Study the chart and read the descriptions. All can be added to the water and many can be mixed into food. I had excellent results using Ka...

Thank you Johannes for your reply. I do have 3 types of frozen brine shrimp, Baby, Adult and Spirulina. And blood worms and daphina. I ordered these from the Doctors Foster & Smith web site which I highly recommend! And I did get a bag of CaribSea Sunset Gold sand to try. And thank you TwoTankAm...

Those are very handsome cory's Eric. I like the one at the end of your film that is swimming towards the camera with his head in the sand like a plow or the cow catcher on an old locomotive train going thru the snow. That's just too funny to watch! You might try a bag of CaribSea "Sunset Gold&q...

Sorry for your loss. Looks like Jerome was very dear to you. Losing a precious fish can be devastating. I think we all went through this at least once. I lost two sterbais, that acutally jumped out of the tank. Didn't expect that at all, back then. Corys do sometimes shoot up to swallow some air. T...

I did test the water when I saw Jerome was breathing hard. Ammonia & Nitrites were zero. Nitrates were about 20. I did do an 18% water change in the tank to bring them down. This tank uses 100% RO water, since the Arizona tap water is terrible. I change 18% every week. These SeaClear System II t...

Hello everyone. New member here. First of all, I want to say what a great site this is. I've been lurking here for a while and I've learned so much! A little about myself. In the mid 1970's, when I was young, I was big into aquariums. I kept both fresh & salt water tanks and even worked in a tro...
