Hi all, my emerald cory has a sore on its body/fin:22_yikes:--here are the pics...

Parameters Ammonia-0, Nitrite-0, Nitrate 10, planted tank, is due for a water change I think, at least tomorrow is my water change day. Please help me:uhoh:. None of my other corys has this-I have 5 emeralds, 2 pandas, 4 albinos and 6 peppereds. He is eating and swimming normally, he is about 2 inches long. Please, if anyone knows what this is, I would appreciate the help:1zhelp:. Thanks guys

It looks much redder than the pics suggest-very livid, but not bleeding.

It is not her gill-it is right on the joint of her fin, I should say, I don't think it is her gill. It could be in her gill but she does not look clamped. I am going to qt her and treat her for parasites and do the pima/mela fixes to soothe her. I don't know what else to do...

That sounds like a good plan. :(

I say "her" because of the stocky body - you can confirm if she's more rounded... No egg-belly, tho.
