short barbles

update:
"Shorty" didn't make it. Once I got him into the hospital tank I could see that his left fin was not right - and then after 2 days he started growing fungus on it. I treated for the fungus, but he was gone within the day. Poor guy. Luckily, everyone else looks brilliant, so I think this was an isolated instance. I'll watch the tank carefully just in case, but everyone one else is busy, hungry, long barbles, etc.
 
i had that happen with 3 albino cories. with cories, fungus is really hard. they have armored plates rather than scales. they may have an infection for a long time before it physically manifests. youll see it on their eyes and their fins. by the time you know to do anything about it, they are very sick.

sorry for the loss of your cory :(
