hi everyone/anyone... for about 2 weeks know my L 200 has had 2 yellow marks almost like scabs today i,ve noticed one has turned into a small hole still yellow in colour no red or pink and looks quite clean ? could this be rock damage? she is still very active and looks great apart from the two scabs? i regularly do a 20% water change (every sunday eve) water peramiters are good? ive added some esha 2000, esha exit and followed it up with esha optima( vits trace elements health booster) anybody seen or heard of any parasite or disease with these symtoms? thanks.

Hi!

Sincerely since I have never such thing, I have no idea what to use but if you go to your local petshop he will certainly have the product that might save your fish.
Also since you are in a different country than mine, I have no idea to what product you might be able to have access to

Also I can suggest you to have a look here:
Corydoras World

Check for Hexamita as it is what I suspect to be or at least very close to it...

Cheers
Yann
