Some of my fish have seemed to develop this greenish looking film over them, mostly on top of the head along the back. Does this look like velvet?
Thanks

Personally I think it is natural colloring on these C.pygmaeus.

Could you please place some extra pics?
How do they behave ?

Are they flashing / scratching.
Difficult to see for me but if the fish you had "changed" there must be something.
Most meds against it won't effect the cycle aso, so I'd treat to be sure.

Oh and all fish are acting normal besides one cory who is my oldest but seems to have the most of this colour, seems to just be hanging out alone all the time not doing much. Water parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate, temp is 26 degrees Celsius

I'd treat with a specific anti Ich / Oodinium-med. Not all need to be combined with higher temps.
