Can Corydoras Get Ich Easily?

[ey2006]

Hi, as the topic states, I am wondering if corydoras can get ich easily, when compared to other species.

I started off with clown and yoyo loaches and later learnt that they are not the ideal fish to start a new tank with, as they are scaleless and very sensitive to water conditions. I had ich shortly after I got them and whilst I treated for it, I lost the clowns.

This time around, I am worried I might lose fish if I get ich again with corydoras....though I am sure my water conditions would be ideal as my tank has completed its cycle.

Just wanted to find out by asking everyone who have corydoras (which I'm sure a lot of people do!) and if they have experienced ich with their corys! Cheers

Corys are not prone to whitespot, but never no, more inclined to bacterial infections.

Thanks Wilder, would clean maintenance and regular water change/cleaning gravel be sufficient to prevent such bacterial infections on corys?

Yes i clean my gravel twice a week, had no problems with my panda with doing this.
