Cories Getting torn up

[Breakthecycle2]

I don't know hwo is doing it but I think it's the Kribs. All there fins are taking a beating, but I haven't actually seen anyone doing it. The Bolivian Rams i dont think would do it. If they don't make it, anyone have any other suggestions for a catfish with these fish besides plecs?

Can you tell us how many and what type of fish you have in your tank and how many gallons the tank holds please? Do you have any breeding pairs of fish?
Its posible your corys have finrot.

Theres a pair of Bolivian Rams, pair of Kribs, 6 Black Neons and 2 Neons..plus the two Albino Corys. In a 20 gal. Now, I know I have to rehome the Kribs or Rams, and Im in the process of doing that, but they seem to be OK for now. I was thinking it was fin rot, but now the bigegr cory, floats upside down at the surface and then swims back down.

Have you used any meds or salt recently? What are your recent ammonia, nitrate and nitrites stats please if you have them?

Do their fins look anything like the ones in the links/pics below;

Not as severe, but sort of. They look frayed..but its all of them now.

Unless you are witnessing any bullying/harrassment, i would put it down to finrot. There is a good finrot by Interpet that you should be able to find in your lfs(local fish store), there are also many finrot meds available as well by other companys .
Do a 40% water change with dechlorinator before you add any meds and also test your water for ammonia, nitrates and nitrie stats ASAP and post them to us. Do not use aquarium salt as corys are intolerant of it.

I just check the Notrites and Ammonia and both are zero. I did a 50% water change two days ago, should I do another?

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

Just do a 30% one then as you should try not to do water changes when medicating the tank as it lowers the levels of med in the tank and makes it difficult to give out correct doses which is why its better to do a water change before you add meds so at least you won't have to do anymore for the first 4 or so days of medicating the fish.
Is you tank cycling/newly set up and if so, how has it been set up for?

 

[Breakthecycle2]

6 weeks. I t seemed to just finish cycling over the weekend. The only fish I see the Kribs chasing are the Rams and thats to be expected.
