Best temperature for cory hospital tank

Post by Trachelospermum »

Hi, as the title suggests, I have a sick cory metae (mouth fungus) whom I am going to put into a hospital tank. Is there a best temperature to aid healing or any other things specific to this fish that I can do to help other than the meds?
Thanks, Jo

The best temperature is generally in the higher range that the fish is happy with - for C. metae, that would be about 24'C.

Thanks, I''ve never had to hospitalise a fish before (being fairly new to the hobby!) so at least s/he has a half decent chance with the best temp!
Thanks again, Jo :thumbsup:
