Sorry to hear you lost him

Thanks FK, always hard when we do not know what we are really dealing with.

Bless his little heart.
Sorry for your loss.

 
Was the red blotch beneath the skin, Like bleeding beneath the skin. As it common with corys for septicemia to set in aswell.
 
How are the other fish doing?

Thanks Wilder...

...difficult to say, I think it was just breaking through. The female Hasborus does not seem to move around much, and I have not seen them eat much. I am unsure what to do regarding any further treatments. I did add the full quantity of the Betta Spa, to enable them to have the healing elements within it. Ideally, I would like the, to get into the tank with all the others ASAP, but not sure if they may still be harbouring something?

Had a sad loss in the main tank of Hasborous ... I was about to do a WC and wondered what was in the top of a piece of bogwood. I turned off all the equipment to get a better look, and sadly one of the little guys had got himself wedged into a very small gap at the top. He is well and truly stuck and had passed, bless him. I have removed the offending piece and still need to try and find away to remove him, which I fear may require a saw or chisel. It is the tiniest little piece hanging off the main section, and I would never had thought this would have happened. I feel so sorry for him, as I believe fish only know how to swim forwards, so the more he would have tried, the more he would have got trapped.

Poor thing that's awful. Bless Him. R.I.P.
Wouldn't blame yourself as I've had some not so nice things happen to my fish.
 
You could double dose some Anti Internal Bacteria Medication by Interpet.
It's only really effective on mild bacteria infections.

Oh dear...

Yesterday I was going to post how happy I was that the female was now eating and seemed to be well again. However, tonight I have seen the same weird swimming behaviour as I saw before . Sad as I was planning to move her and the one surviving Pygmy into the tank with all the others, now I am guessing I may need to put her out of her misery based on the outcome of the other fella.

Do you think it could be food related at all?
The Pygmy has been fine, but I am concerned that it might be a carrier of whatever affected this tank and then it would affect the main colony if I moved it in with them!?

I have just let the girl go as she had got a lot worse. I caught the Pygmy but then could bring myself to let a potentially healthy fish go!?! I will give the tank a small water change...then see what you recommend...

How are you getting on RCA??

I had a similar problem with my group of false julii, one started darting about, floating very unsteady, unfortunately we lost him.

Then it was as if one by one they all started doing the same thing.

Out of a group of six, I had three left when I started treatment with eSHa 2000. This stuff is amazing, I would highly recommend it.

I still have the same three, along with a little group of sterbai who are doing great!

I treat my tank for the full three day course, then after a 75% water change did another three day course a week later.

Hope your little guys are OK, I love Cory's they're such fantastic little fish to keep.

Thanks for your post. I have just added the one lone Pygmy to the tank with all the others as it seem to show none of the signs after all this time, and I need to close down the tank.

I will have to check if I have any of the stuff you recommend as I know it is one I have considered in the past so it may well be in my arsenal of tricks and treats.

Thanks again, always good to know others experiences.
