Cory With Redness Inside Body

[Alps]

He doesn't have a perfectly defines red streak, but along what I'm guessing is his spine he has some redness. (definitely internal)
He is swimming and behaving fine, but just I'm still suspicious.

hey Wilder,

all the stats are good and the fish still seems fine now - not so pale. But I can still see some redness inside him and he seems more restless than my other cories (swimming up and down the wall more than the others). I've been doing weekly 33% water changes also.

Sorry for a late entry here, but only just picked up on this thread.

The best treatment for this problem, which is known as red blotch, is melafix.

i do a 50% water change then add the suggested dose of Melafix and add a fairly strong air stone. The air stone is there because the treatment causes foaming and the turbulence from the air stone keeps the surface moving and the water fully oxygenated.
