now the corys ill
well my apisto seem alot better today but i noticed theres somethink wrong with one of my corys is ill. it has a hole on the front of its nose you can see all the pinky flesh behind it and it seems to be getting bigger. it also looks like it has pop eye a little aswell not to much but there bigger than normal. what could it be? im treating the tank with a fungus med because that said it treats like fungus holes and stops infection.

Do you think he could have either been nipped or maybe he's scraped himself on something? This could lead to a secondary problem like fungus.

Re: now the corys ill
i dont know but what ever it was it was eating away at his head. i had to kill him today i just cut its head because i think thats the nicest way. when i got in from school it had its head on the floor and body in the air spinning is circles and then it layed on its side on the floor breathing rapidly and when i hent to catch it it shot to the top upside down and was spinning round so i thought the nisest thing to do was kill it. by this time most of its head was gone it was just eating away at its head. the front of its head was flat and head been worn way to inline with its eyes i think that why it eyes where sticking out. i think it had got to its brain aswell because so much of its head was missing and i couldnt see its skull just flesh. atleast none of the other fish seem to have it.

Re: now the corys ill
should i carry on treating the tank for a bit just to make sure it is gone? or dose it sound like it cut its self on something?

well i finished the treatment today and all the fish seem fine i cant see any signs of it on other fish so i think this cory must have cut its self and then the cut got infected.
