It's likely a fungal infection brought on by overcrowding . Keep up the antifungal treatments and please consider upgrading to a minimum of 20 gallon tank as soon as possible. As an fyi, the current stocking recommendation for cory of all types is a minimum grouping of 6. Guppies need to be in a minimum of 10 gallons with further room available for the inevitable fry. Depending on the snail type - is it a Mystery? You may also be crowding it as well. Good luck. Please check out the various subforums to learn more about your various pets.
