I have just had an outbreak of Ich and began treatment with Super ICK Cure, and added 2 tablespoons of salt as told by LFS, (they said to add more but I wasn't sure if the cory's would like it). Is the salt and Super ICK cure killing the cories? 1 is just lying on the bottom and can't be bothered to move no matter what. He used to be skttish now you can tap the glass which he is against and he wont move. All I have for quarantine is a declhorinated room temperature 5 gallon bucket. The cure contains Nitrofurazone and Benzaldehyde Green. It says use half dose for scalesss fish, are corys scaless? Plz help.


Before the two cories would just swin furiously agsint the glass in a little cycle up down and around I was concerned about this, maybe they were in trouble before the stuff was added?

* Benzaldehyde Green is also know as Malachite Green
 
Corys won't suffer from whitespot, but they cannot tolerate parasites meds to well, i would do a water change to dilate it down, have you increased aeration, corys are scaless fish so you have to be careful with salt, i wouldn't add anymore salt to the tank.
