I have a cory cat in quarantine that has gray tufts around its gills, I am guessing fungal growths... books say that fungus is a secondary indicator of an issue... other than the tufts, the little guy looks like all the others... so all I can guess is an internal issue... parasites or the like...

any suggestions on a treatment regimine? any help is greatly appreciated...

thanks for the advice, but he passed on before I got home from work.

Sorry.

I had one pass away.

He's my nitrate source right now

Couldn't find him. Plants look good in the back of my tank where I think he is though.

Anyway.

I love those little guys. It sucks when they go.
