Cory and ick?

Elberticus · Post by **Elberticus** » 17 Oct 2003, 04:09

Hi All,

I know certain fish are prone to certain diseases while others are not, do(can) corys come down with ick?

I've got some C. hastatus that seem to have small white ick-like dots, they also seem to have loss a considerable amount of their caudal fin. It does not seem like fin rot as there isn't any reddess int he fin area.

Does anyone have any clue what may be wrong? Any advice?

Thanks in advance

Sure they can. Sounds like yours just did.
The best cure is to raise the temperature and use an anti-ich medication.
