I'm currently running a tiny little 10 gallon tank, been having some troubles with high ammonia amounts but working at getting that under control.
My bigger, and breaking my heart problem, is that one of my corydora's has developed a wart-like/pinky-purple-y pimple on the top of his head. He's lying around, at times I think he's dead, but when I go to try and net him he just swims away and hides someone else in the tank!
I have no clue ehat this is, and can't seem to find any sort of information about it -
Wondering if anyone might have experienced this before, or knows something of it!
Please, I'm desperate here - I feel awful and keep wondering if I should just pull him from the tank and end his life. I can't tell if he's suffering, he's sometimes swims ok, other times funny...He apppears to seek out food but I'm not sure if he's really eating. The rest of the fish seem to stay away from him, other times they go close to check him out, and so that concerns me with passing on any diseases to the others in the tank -
At this point, unless I can get some sort of advice on what to do, I think I have no choice but to euthanize him...I so don't want to do that but I can't watch him like this anymore....
