Sick Corydora Help!

one of my corydoras.. is not doing too well, a few weeks ago it lost its barbels. I let it be, thought they would grow back. (This coincides with my apistogramma breeding. Thought it went into the wrong cave and got bit by angry mama)

Now.. its barbels haven't grown back, he is breeding very fast. Yesterday I noticed maybe 3 ich spots on it and started treatment before it got worse. (A few other fish also have ich now)

But I'm not here because of ich. I know how to deal with that.

The problem is, now that cory has white ‘stuff’ on its face/near his mouth.


(The cory in the back is fine. It came from the lfs with a blind eye)
I don't know if its clear in the picture, but he has this white stuff on his face!
I already started threating his ich but now this showed up. What is it ?

The other 6 corydoras are fine, actually they are currently chasing each other and TRYING to spawn.

 

I don't know because I am new but I hope he feels better.

 

Can't really tell much from the picture. It looks like it's patterns like the one behind it. May you take another pic? Maybe a side one?

I’ll try to. If I can see him, he hides alot

Unfortunately just found it dead.

 

I'm a terribly sorry! That was very unexpected because I didn't see anything visibly wrong with him. So sorry for you loss. Was his old? Maybe he dies of old age.

Dont think I had him for a full year. I think he had fungus on his face- but he went down unexpectedly fast

 

Yes, it must have been a fungus. Did he develop that in your tank? Or has he always had that on his face? If it showed up in the tank, I would do a 50% water change, and treat it with a fungus medication, just to make sure the fungus is gone.

Just showed up while he was in my tank, i’ll do that but maybe tomorrow- have to prepare for Christmas party

 

Oh course hahaha. Merry Christmas!
