Wonkey And Lumpy The Cories

[saphphx]

this is Lumpy:

and this is Wonkey:

There both suposed to be bronze corys, but Wonkey is almost a solid white/mucky white, but has black eyes - so not albino. He actually looks quite dark in the photos compaired to how he looks in the tank lol. Anyone ever seen anything like this before? Got Wonkey at the LFS as I liked his colour, and Lumpy was free as no one else wanted him, and I figure why not. He looks happy enough

thanks they are the cutest of the group I'm a bit worried about Wonkey, haven't seen him eat yet. thinking about switching him onto sand sooner then I would have liked (worried about the bacteria as the QT tank doesn't have a filter at the moment as it broke)

So, bit lost. Treating him with Liquasil Tonic but may give him a half dose of an anti-bacteria just in case he is ill. No physical signs though so I am a bit stumped.

W/out a filter, just keep a close eye on the parameters and do PWCs to keep your ammonia and nitrItes down.

What are you feeding them? I would try shrimp pelletes and see if he goes for those.

If he isn't ill, there really isn't any benefit in stressing him w/ medications. Although I understand you concern as lethargic behavior and/or not feeding can be signs of other issues that have not manifested yet...

Hopefully it's nothing more than him just getting use to his new home and the shock of transport.

-nods- have been feeding him live bloodworms, live daph and cory pellets. Can't find shrimp pellets at the LFS for some reason, but about to go and have a poke around. Thanks

I watched him dig about and act like a normal fish for the first time today - EEE! Hopefully he was just stressed
