Bronze Cory Recovery Help Please :)

  • #1
Info: My mom had a couple of bronze corys in a quarantine tank, and while they were in there, one of them showed signs of inflamed gills and ended up not making it. The other bronze in there made it, but she was too anxious about it to put in with her betta sorority. I have a group of 5 albino, 1 emerald, and 4 peppered corys, so she gave him to me to take care of. The only issue is she didn't realize that the disease made him lose/scar his eyes.

Issue: Bronze cory had an infection a month or two ago, and was treated, but no longer has eyes. Managed to eat so far, but I moved him to a new tank to be with other corys. His barbells are fine, but do I need to be worried about him finding food? The other corys already hang out with him, but I am worried he won't be able to adjust.

Corys don't really feed on eyesight so I think it will be okay as long as there is enough to scavage for.

It seems to be ok !!!! Great it is settling in
Crumble pellets aso. Divide the food.
Then there will be enough for it to find and eat.

A lot of my Corys are adopted ones, so I know what happens when a loner meets company. It is sooooooooo great. That's why I try to tell people that think they're okay alone ornin a pair they are wrong !

Well done and great it's disability didn't withhold you to do so !!!

Succes !!!
