Last night one of my small Julii corries was rolling across the bottom of the tank. He stopped on his side with very shallow breathing. I pulled him to put him in a breader box and discovered a large indentation on his stomach, it appears to go directly into his intestines. He was lost shortly after. This morning I discovered his brother lying on his side in the same fashion. I have pulled him for QT. I took water and gravel for him from his home tank, Added salt. primafix, and melafix. Both the coris have very ragged fins and appear much thinner than normal. Here are some pics of the one I lost. He also had very bright yellow/bronze patches on his head behind his eyes and gills, very shiny metalic looking. His brother is now refusing to eat. Any help would be wonderful.
