If a mod wants to move this to the Hospital feel free...I never know where to post these types of problems.

The story...In my 15 gallon I had 6 panda cories. I went away for a day, and came back to find one dead behind a bubble bar. I didn't find any interesting marks, but I don't know how long he was in there for, so it was hard to tell. Within about another 2 days, I found another dead cory. Water testing showed everything to be completely normal, except for low pH, which should not affect them to the point of death anyway. Then recently I noticed one of my older pandas has a single white spot in between her eyes on her head...nobody else has any of these weird markings. I tried to get some pics, most are blurry, but take a peek if you will:

so if anyone has ideas...I appreciate it. I'll try to catch a better shot.

hard to say with blurry pics.. but almost sounds like some sort of HITH or fungii or some sort...

Catfish cannot get HITH, Tim. Pfft...

It looks like the fish got a small cut or other injury on his head, and it now appears that the wound has fungus on it. Maracyn Plus should be able to clear it up.

That's what I was thinking actually Natalie...I'll try to get clearer pics today to confirm it. Will melafix work too? It's all I have on hand right now...

MelaFix is crap (meaning it it doesn't help). I have learned firsthand (both at home and at work) that Maracyn Plus is a much better product.
