I've been noticing some wierd behavior from my Schwartz cory recently and upon taking a closer look I think he may have a bacterial infection around his barbel/ mouth area. Firstly I thought it maybe because I have gravel but he's been in the tank for about 2 weeks and this only now happens, all the other corys are fine. Could it be the gravel? I wish I could change to sand but right now I cant. Another thing is, he's always swimming mid level and only goes down for little periods and at feeding time. While he's at mid level he's mostly in one spot and doesnt really move around. I'm on my 2nd dose of Jungle Fungas Clear right now because my black mollies had a kind of white fungas. It disappeared after the first treatment but when I noticed this cory I decided to do one more treatment after changing 25% of the water. According to the fungas clear, it treats and prevents bacterial infections. On the last picture is one of my albino corys. If you look closely at his tail fin, it looks as if someone took a bite of the bottom. Its definitely not fin rot. I cant remember if it was there when I bought him last weekend or it happened within the last few days. I doubt it was there when I bought him though because I would have noticed it. What do you guys think happened there? Sorry for the long post but I wanted to explain in details. Help me figure out what happened with these 2 corys. Will the fungas clear help them both? (it says for fin rot too, just incase the albino does have fin rot).
