Albino cory's have red lines

Post by Nataliey on Wed May 26, 2010 2:45 pm

This morning one of my albino cory's died but i did notice that it had a red patch over its back and its fins where a bit shredded.

Iv now noticed another one of my albino cory's have red on its body but not as much as the one that was dead this morning...have they been fighting or is it something more serious?? confused
Heres a picture so you can see (a bit blurry) The red is quite close to the tail.

My 2 other albino cory's and peppered cory are fine.

No other fish in there a part from albino and peppered cory's. This one just died about half an hour ago, iv taken pictures of it doesnt look like scratches though

Been given advise to look at this link:

and it looks like what this guy has with his cory's is what my corys may have caught.

The link really opened up my eyes anyway, apparently its a bacterial infection that corys can catch so there immune system doesnt work as well as it should.
I have 2 left so going to do a water change tomorrow when iv been to buy some anti bacterial stuff from pets @ home. Fingers crossed it'll work...hope its not too late, they dont seem to have any red marks yet.
