Re: Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

The sickest panda died today too. Seen a few of the other corys rolling over/scratching so perhaps it's whitespot lifecycle with it going and coming back again. Have some malachite green based medicine but didn't really want to use it, with them being so sensitive. Tried half a dose anyway, will see ...

Re: Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

Hi again, been meaning to post an update, the schwarzi passed away the next day unfortunately. Started doing 20% water changes every 3 or 4 days, and added melafix for a week which seemed to help. Looked like it was finally gone so stopped melafix about last Wednesday. Noticed the same panda ...

Re: Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

Thanks for all the responses. The lymphocystis one is interesting, it did seem to start with one panda and spread to the others. The worst one looked a lot better again last night, will try and get a comparison photo. It's definitely something that has come off, it's hard to see from the photos but ...

Re: Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

Will do, luckily it doesn't seem half as bad tonight. Read on another site about them possibly scraping against sharp objects. They do spend a lot of time hiding under the bridge. What temperature and measurement of salt would be advisable? I know they don't normally like it too warm so didn't push ...

Re: Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

Thanks for replying. We did a 30l water change last and night most of the white stuff actually came off as they swam about, it's very strange! Thought it might have been whitespot which is why we raised the temperature slightly, but it seems more like some attaching or growing fluff. Should have ...

Trying to identify illness on Corys, white fungus-like?

Hi all, sorry I know that joining a forum to ask for help isn't a great way to start out but I'm hoping someone here will be able to help us :( Two of our pandas have strange white fungus looking blotches on them and at least one of our schwartzi cories now has it as well. Two of our pandas have ...
