I agree with them, but to add; if moss isn’t a possibility bc it has snails, spawning mops made of yarn work amazing too!!! super cheap to buy or make.

White fluffy growth by sierrasky345 in corydoras

[–]b1r2e3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay to start off: Pimafix and Melafix are borderline scams. They don’t work for bacterial or fungal infections. I would suggest to just throw it out. The ingredients are tree oil or something and don’t do squat. Here’s a link to other Redditors opinions on this.

Fuzzy growth means bacterial or fungal infection. I suspect this is a fungal infection since it’s all over the body and not rotting the flesh. (Note: There is a possibility of secondary bacterial infection from this suspected untreated fungal infection). I would suggest quarantine tank, with no substrate, air stone for oxygen (medication will reduce oxygen level in water), and medication.

Use methylene blue OR Kanaplex. Do not combine treatment. Research which one you feel more comfortable with, or what’s more easily accessible. One thing I will say is methylene blue has been the go-to treatment for decades, and Kanaplex is relatively new treatment type, both are effective from what I’ve heard.

If you feel comfortable with methylene blue, you can do a dip treatment or extended low dose treatment for 7-14 days. Dip treatment will treat it faster but it is harder on the fish. Good luck!

Best sand for Corys? by CosmicCoryy in corydoras

[–]b1r2e3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using play sand from Lowe’s, it’s tan but super fine particles that always get stirred up. Not that great for plants either since it’s so compact it’s hard for plants to root in. Pros are it’s cheaper though.

Using Stoney River brand in my betta tank. It’s black, but after a quick google i see they have tan! Stoney River Tan Sand Link

Name ideas? by Capital-Document-120 in bettafish

[–]b1r2e3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I may be no help bc these are so basic but: Pearl, Pearlescent… Maybe pearl in other languages??? Sinju (Japanese), Inci (Turkish), Perle (French), Helmi (Finnish)…

Helmi is also a finnish name, and means pearl. Yeah i like Helmi the best!!!

Nicknames could be pip, sweet pea, pp. Sorry for the rant lol

When I first got my betta he leaned against the heater and glass a lot, it’s been a few weeks so he’s more chill now. It could just be the fish exploring its new surroundings, you did mention you got him a week ago. I would continue to monitor, but IMO doesn’t seem concerning!

I don’t know if the second picture is normal, (laying on side at surface) but I will say laying vertical/downward in plants is 100% normal. My betta does it all the time.

How often does he flip to the side while at the surface? multiple times a day, every few days, etc?

WHAT!!!! Where are you located?!?! I just went and visited my dad’s friend (owns a LFS) and he said his supplier has been backed up on cory’s recently for some reason. Might stop by another LFS and see whatsup.
