Take A Look At My Cory

[juwelfan]

Hey,
This is one of my new Agassiz Cory, its very small, didnt have any barbel and has a strange dark eye. Any ideas what it could be. Plus it has a stange fungal like growth around its nostrals.

The second cory i was told was a Panda, but it turns out its an adolfo's cory, i think. He's very health thou.


cheers,

Juwelfan

Your second cory is a metae, not a panda Lovely cories, a bit shyer than others - and like all cories, should be kept in groups of 3 or more (in metaes case - more would be better, my group of 3 are very shy).

a bandit cory! who would have thought... well thank you for clearing that up. Well think i better rename them, how about 'Robin Hood' and 'William Wallace' they're 2 famous bandits.

your first cory is actually a corydoras trilineatus as well

The first Cory (C. trilineatus) looks like is has some faint red patches forming on the upper body. To stop this from getting any worse and to combat the snout fungus looking problem, I would do a large water change and treat the tank with a recommended dose of Melafix. BUT be sure to add at least one extra air stone to create water turbulence and rapid surface movement, this will ensure maximum oxygen absorption during the treatment. Melafix and Primafix foam at the surface and inhibit oxygen absorption the addition of the air stone prevents this.

I don't know how many of each of the Cory species you have but all Corys are best kept in small groups of their own kind, 4 or 5 at least.
