My friend just called me. When he came home from work today, he found one of his albino cories with what I believe is pop-eye.
Fish: an older albino cory
Symptoms: One eye popping out, bulging face, and his face looks a bit scraped up. Labored Breathing.
Conditions: Water quality is perfect and stable as usual; however, this past weekend he upgraded from a 10g to a 30g and increased his schools of danios and cories (by 3 new ones).
The rest of the tank appears happy and healthy.
Initial Steps: I have told him to quarantine the fish in the 10g. What now?
I have never (knock on wood) had any diseases except 1 swim bladder incident that was fixed with a frozen pea. So, my experience is of no use!
I have pictures, but I am having trouble uploading. I will keep trying though.
