10 days ago i went to a petshop and i saw a bunch of Pygmy Cory's in a small thank with a few agressive Botia's. The looked ok and wanted them anyway and thought save a few of these poor little things and give them a better home. I bought 9 of them.. At home i noticed one of them was missing an eye, happens with agressive botia's i thought. But this morning i noticed one of them scratching the hardware like an idiot, i sanded every stone in my tank to take the sharp edges off and still cory managed to wound itself.. Damn not good!
Here it is.
I inspected the others, and 7 of the 9 where all in a bad shape, not feeling happy and a few of them also seem to mis an eye. Can't be, but they are so small it just looked that way. At a closer look the eye isnt missing at all. Its just infected and has a grey shade.
Darn! A parasite infection is my best guess.. Went straight back to the shop and yes! The rest still left there also had a few with the same infection. The shop owner offered me to bring them back. But when i said, what good is that? You probably will flush them down the drain and still you infected my tank! So he gave me some meds for free (Tetra TremaEx). Nice gesture, but still im pist off a bit.
Does anybody of you know these symptoms? Will TremaEx do the job? I realy hope i get them back on track.
