Question
cory1
My Cory has a white blob that is located right where hi/her top back fin attaches on the back at the lowest side of the fin. On the very back edge. It looks like maybe the fin got caught on something and it pulled it apart a little from his back. Or is it some sort of parasite or fungus? I am at a loss as to what to do for it. it is eating and is healthy but the blob has been there for about 5 days or more. It does not look like it is getting much bigger but it is not getting any smaller. I would appreciate any information you can give me. I have a 50 gal. bow front aquarium with 2 cory's, 2 rubber mouth Pleco's and 3 Angel's. I do at least a 25% water change and gravel cleaning every week. Today I did a 50% so I could clean under the rocks and slate really good.
AnswerHi Cherly!
I saw the picture you sent along with your question & I can see the white blob (it was kinda blurry but I know its hard to get photos of your fish when they are swimming around. The blob is probably fungus because I've never seen ick so close together and so big. I've dealt with this problem before and it often is an injury that heals with time and clean water. Its too difficult to properly diagnose any illness at this point so simply keep a close eye on it and make sure it doesn't change or start looking fuzzy/furry orspreading on the fish which very likely would indicate an infection caused by fungus. If that's the case, you should try treating it with the Jungle Brand "Fungus Clear". You should also try the API StressCoat/Zyme. Stress Coat

I'm sorry for typing this much for you to read. I tried to make it as simple as possible.
I hope this helps and feel free to ask more questions! :D
