hi mark

it sounds like it could be septasima
i would treat with an intetrnal bactaria med( interpet no 9 anti internal bactaria is a good one and so is myxazin )
iv used both of these meds for a number of things on my corydoras, id go for the interpet no 9 as i used it about a month ago on one ov my bronze corydoras with septasima and it cleared it up

Thx drewry i will get some interpet tomrw, is it ok to leave with the others because i have no seperate tank, thx again

 

[drewry]

yeah it will be fine m8 its best to treat the whole tank anyway

 

[mg-guner]

ok thx again, i will go shopping and treat the tank first thing in the morning

 

[drewry]

let us know how it goes
it might be about 4-5 days before you see any improvement it is a 2 dose med but u might have to redose after the 7 days it says untill its cleared up

Hemorhagic Septicemia

Be sure to give the substrate a good vacum and to do a good water change before adding the meds.

It is important to keep the water and substrate at a high quality of cleanliness.
