Hi all
I have an albino cory cat that is in a 16 gal tank with 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, about 2.5 nitrate, and 7.6 ph. The tankmates are a male beta and two other albino cory cats. Some time ago (about a month or so) I realized that he was missing an eye. Although the cory and the beta seem to respect each others space and I've never witnessed any aggression between them, I assumed that the beta must have caused the damage to his eye. He seemed to be doing fine with his remaining eye until recently. In the last several days I've noticed that his body color has become slightly yellowish and his dorsal fin and several of his front "feeler" whiskers are gone. The other two cories are fine, however they have only been in the tank for about a week. The beta looks good but I do notice that his fins look ever so slightly less full on the very ends. Any ideas what could be happening and what I could do?
Thanks
