well heres the story..........my grandad is cleaning out his 80 gallon tank (well its about that big) and he has only a hand full of fish left includeing 2 skunk botias and 1 huge and i do mean huge blue with red fins botia and another huge red tailed black shark.he also had a 3/4 grown cory. wen i went there to stay for the weekend this poor little cory along with a full grown cardinal were wat it looked like being bullied by the two skunk botias so so i said to my grandad i will take the cardinal and the cory back to my tank. so i did. ive now had them in there for 2 or 3 daysnd the cardinal is doing great along with my others. but the little cory isnt looking as good :/ he has lost 1 of his "whiskers" most of his top fin and most of his tale and is in a right state. hes just started looking for food but dont seem to want to eat the food i give him like my other corys do. well my question is wat can i do with him? is there any med i can give him? will it be best to put him in my hospital tank on his own?or just leave him in my community tank to get better on his own? any info or past experiance would be great thx. :D :(
 
Agreed.

If he was bullied, the stress would have caused his immune system to drop. Also moving him to the new tank would have caused some stress as well.

Chances are he developed some infection. Isolate, medicate, give lots of hiding spots, low light. Just don't use salt. Good luck, HTH
