 | worried about my cory |
lou Fingerling Posts: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 06-Sep-2004   | i'm a bit worried about my albino cory. i keep my tank in my bedroom and lying in bed last night i noticed that its caudal fin is damaged. one of the tips seems to be missing. It doesn't seem to be infected or anything but the fish is definatley less active then normal. i'm really worried.   |

terranova    Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003  | First off, several questions.  Is this the only cory in the tank? What about other tankmates? What size tank is it? Has the tank been cycled? What are the water params? (Ammonia, pH, nitrAte, nitrIte, and temperature too) These things will help us discover what the problem may be. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish  |

Most other fish are more aggressive than Cories during feeding time. So, the slow moving Cories will get picked on occasionally. |
