What’s wrong with my Panda Corydoras

[Colin_T]

Ah ok. I’m just going by the description in the product manual. I noticed some barbs and Corydoras turn their body whilst swimming. Sort of like a barrel roll a few times.

Barrel rolling/ spiralling through the water is either a bacterial or protozoan infection in the brain. Protozoan infection is more common and both are caused by poor water quality and dirty tanks.

Cleaning the tank and adding salt is the best treatment for this but if the fish is too far gone, they don't recover.

Thanks for this. Yes, perhaps for some of the fishes it was too late before I started treatment.

I have shrimp and snail in the tank, is it safe to treat with aquarium salt?
