Sat in front of the tanks
Just found a white cyst/spot on my old Bronze Cory near its tail fin.
They have had it a bit rough lately with the 2 week whitespot heat treatment a few weeks ago. Then a possible worm infestation that i am halfway through treating with NT Labs Anti Fluke & Wormer(Fenbendazole)
No other fish have anything on them but i do have a huge female Cory whos been plump for a few months but the male does chase her & then she then chases him. She looks full of eggs but thinking maybe worms now? No other visable marks on any other fish Poop seems normal

The spot doesn't look like whitespot; unless Colin_T says otherwise, I suggest it could be a scar from an injury in which case it will fade, or possibly a calcium spot (if you have hard water, that is)




treating with NT Labs Anti Fluke & Wormer(Fenbendazole)
Just one small comment - according to NT Labs' website, it's flubendazole ;)
 
Yep Thanks for that its a typo, I knew what i meant ?.
The spot seems a little bigger today. My worry is that the Cory that has the spot is 5 yrs old now, Was hoping it may be something age related
As for the water, I have very soft water here
 
Ive done a 50% change today, took out the decor & hoovered underneath it all. Wow it was messy underneath the bogwood, bits of wood all over the place.
The cory does not seem bothered by the spot at all
Left it till tonight before checking the stats again & ive got a slightly better reading of Nitrate its more towards 10ppm rather than 20ppm now, Must of been all the crud underneath the wood
