Allmost all Corydoras love waterflow.

The fish of the OP seems to have another problem than being gravid. Possibly parasites.

And put in a new thread of its own

Agree for the fullest. Especially mentioning the deficiency instead of the pollution as a cause.

Agree with that.

Dwarf Gourami.

Think there are several species of cyano bacteria. The ones in rivers and lakes are different types than the ones occuring in tanks. Some of the first are highly poisoness vs less poisoness tank variaties. As mentioned the inbalance in a new tank often cause them to appear and take over.

Congrats Alice. Really great.

In fact fish are the best animals to bring the aquabrands profits. Meds (including antibiotics) are used by people who don't have any knowledge about them nor the usage. In case fish die "we were too late" and when fish recover it was the med. The brands are only accountable for the...

Could you place pics?. The scaleless spot is puzzleling and worrying me.

IMO BN's breed when ready in all kinds of temperatures and when they haves started won't stop.

Gasexchange will be easier this way so help your fish if oxigin.

Awwww that's so great !!! Congrats.

Besides the fact that I don't understand a thing you're posting I think the way you're reacting on answers of and post by other members is quite weird. If it wasn't Ich why did you raise the temp and ask what others think ? You'te first taking action on assumptions and then ask other members...

Isn't it an idea to buy a battery powered airpump ? Letting a spongefilter allready run in the tank which you can switch to the battery powered one when needed.

86F is the minimum. is there aeration / waterflow ?

Thanks for adding this.

Patience is the number one sollution for most issues hahahaha. Available for free on every streetcorner.

owww yes wanted to ad 0,25 often is a reading often seen (could be ammonium)

Magnolia leaves are great to use. I bake collected leaves in the oven to dry so I can store them in a bag.

Testdrive in the type of car I bought.

Got this from a friend and thought it hilarious hahahaha

I don't get the post. Feed the BN't a variated diet. They are omnivores and need vegs, bloodworms, etc as well. They can't only live on algaewafers.

Don't rinse the filtermedia after such a small amount if time, but it is fairly impossible you killed all the bacteria (if you didn't change fiktermedia) I seriously doubt the nitrate test is correct. It is quite unlogical you've nitrates first and they'll disappear. The bloom is caused by a...

Agree. The white sand thinf for.instance hahaha and some other "aquariumfacts"

Personally I think it is a bacterial issue. Don't know what triggered the infection but eye problems could point towards a onesided diet and the lack of certain minerals / vitamins. Doesn't mean it is caused in your tank btw. Another possibility could be the eye is damaged by the substrate...

Funny thing was the same day Gary posted it it just appeared in my list on Youtube, watched it and saved it.

Corys definitely like (and maybe I'd say need) flowing water. Let's put it differently : A lot.of.issues with Corys occure in stagnant water. In most of my tanks I use a wavemaker / pump for that reason.

Is the eye normal or bulging as well ?

Welcome. We're all amateurs.

I think "synergistic" isn't the right word in these cases. In case of an unknown cause / infection people tend to use a mix of meds / antibiotics cause maybe they'll "hit" something (and cure the infection). So infact shooting a shotgun. This in fact is why "general meds" (even sometimes with...

That last assumption isn't correct. Higher temps upto 86F fasten the lifecycle of Ich and in fact make it easier for the parasite to infect fish (they multiply faster). This is exact the reason why some meds require such a raise (cause they'll be earlier in a treatable stage of their life)

Hoping that too hahaha

Yes

Just received my new camera Canon EOS R7 ! Anxious for the first pics.

The fish in the pic is not a Colombian Red Fin Tetra to me, but a Rosy Tetra species. I think the fish is on deads end.

What is the reason to drain en desinfect ?

Think you said it all Byron

I doubt it resembles and even doubt it is a fungus. I think it is bacterial or an outcome of an Hexamita infection (seems to have more issues along the lateral line)
