Hi guys, just got myself 2 cories yesterday but noticed they have some whitish spots on it's body...kinda flakey like and looks like fungus....wonder if you have encountered this before, is it dangerous or will it spread to my other fishes??

Pictures of it:



Hoping that they'll grow out of it or something

google "white spot disease" or "ich"

usually caused by dirty water conditions in the tank

hahaaa.. why me... u first la bro...

Ya, that is what i thought as well.....must be the shop's water dirty.....haih, coz my other fishes are ok......weird thing is there weren't any white spots on the new cories when i bought them, only after 1 day in my tank that it is visible.....i'll probably quarantine them

1 - insufficient light
2 - insufficient co2

or

3 - water circulation too powderful the bubbles keep bein blown off

better quarantine.. if im not mistaken its contagious..

1 - either u buy rm15 medicine and try to treat them
2 - or use that rm15 buy new cories

Haha, i quarantined them already....leave them for a few days first c how it goes....thanks for the advice!

haha i can't stop laughing reading ur post michanz... btw guys is it harmful to a shrimp if i put with fish together? and if i put a group of shrimp will it more better to them?

@Vampyr3, You got yourself a pair of Sterbai cories. I got a pair, and from the pictures, IMO is just nothing. I don't think its itch, but just to be on the safe side the quarantine would be good. But one advice, don't put salt in their water, it'll kill them, you might read from somewhere that salt would be a good treatment for itch but please, it don't include cories...

@cwl_ykh, as the saying goes, big fish eat small fish. Fish will eat anything that can fit in their mouth, and shrimps will be especially vulnerable when they mold. I loss all 30 of my RCS to my one dozen harlequins in one month's time. But it differs between tanks, some say no problem, some say all eaten. Its up to you to see if you want to try...

^Hopefully in the next few days, the 'fungus' will disappear and then back into the happy tank they go!

hehehe
some fishies wont kacau shrimps.. but every fish will makan shrimplets
make sure not cooking salt.

i used epsom salt.

I introduced snow whites and angel fish into my tank, and now all my yamatoes hilang. one committed suicide...

thats why u cant have best of both worlds

either shrimp only
or
fish only

or get 2 tanks lol

@crewmy ,
Before i have the same problem.

bored with my shrimp tank d.... first first they breed alot... den dunno why population reduce all of a sudden... somemore the substrate infested with snails... tank glass covered with algae...

wanna deconstruct the whole tank... still thinking wanna continue with it or not... dont have chiller, havent successfully bred CRS yet...

haha i already try with 2 crs but end up mati, dunno being bully or just commited suicide

Dunno about cories but I have successfully cured ich on iridescent sharks(ikan patin) with normal salt on 31c.
