Corydoras with fungus?

Post by Manoah »

Hello everyone, one of my corydoras melini has this weird fungus on his head. All the rest of the corydoras are fine. His gills are a bid red and his breathing is realativly fast. Does anybody know what it could be or what i can do about it?. There is no amonia in the water and no nitrite. The nitrate is also low. He is also isolating from the rest of the group. Tho i have to say that the melinis that i have are always a bit shy and slow moving. And his eyes are bigger than the rest of the group. What sould i do and could it also infect the other cory's ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi guys, sadly he died this afternoon. Hope is an better place! The fungus grew on his eyes in only a few hours. I bought them and their barbs where really short so he probably got an infection from that.
