Red peppered cory

[nene]

One of my peppered corys has a large red area on his side. I just noticed it this morning. It is under the skin and looks like a bruise only it is red. Other tank members are White Cloud Mountain Minnows and Otto cats. Is this a sign of some disease? He is still eating and isn't acting sick in any way.

This could possibly be an ulcer, I think MelaFix is the treatment, someone will come along here shortly with more info soon, I'm sure. Sorry about your fish.

I hate to say this, but I had one that died from the same thing
