Is it possible for my cory to have a broken fin? His right fin is motionless and there is blood. How would a fish break their fin and what can we do to help him heal? Right now he's wedged in against the filter and the aquarium glass near the air bubbles looking very lethargic. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

Thank you!

*Edit*: Thank you for your concern and responses. Unfortunately my cory did not make it through the night. =(

Hello and welcome to fishlore!
Sorry to hear about your cory. What other fish do you have in the tank? Is it possible that another fish may have attacked him? It doesnt sound too good for him at this point. All you can really do is keep the tank water very clean and hope that he recovers. There may be some additives you can add to the water to help him, and those that use the meds hopefully will stop by your topic to give you more advice. Good luck with the lil guy...

i'm sorry to hear that.. i'm not sure what would've caused it, but my 1st thought was the same as kate's.. how big is the tank? what fish are in there now? what's the current ammonia, nitrites and nitrates readings?

Sorry to hear your guy didn't make it. Keep an eye on the other fish in the tank. It's possible it could be from a contagious infection or there could be an aggressive fish nipping at the others. It's important to figure out what caused the Cory's injury so it doesn't happen to any other fish.
