So two of my little juvenile Corys were/are missing barbels.
I didn’t change the water for 3 weeks then then there was a 2 week break before I got to it again, I’ve been doing a ton of morning to night work at my mother in laws getting her house ready to sell, painted 4 rooms/ceilings and completely redid two bathrooms on weekends, replaced every outlet and light switch in the house. I haven’t really had a weekend day to myself for 5 weeks.
I feel shame and only did 2 water change in a five week span and did top offs. I cut my ferts to zero this whole time.
I noticed there were some floaters which started showing blue green Alge and couldn’t ignore it any more
Yesterday I did 50% water change and completely replaced the poly fill in my canister filter.
When I turned it back on a metric ton of debris came shooting out the pipe,
This happened the last time I tried to deal with a small leak in the canister. But after it did I lost a fish.
Now today I lost one of the juvenile Corys.
None of the mature ones are having any issues with barbels and of all the wierd things I found a baby nerite snail in a freshwater setup. I’ve not introduced anything new to the tank in 4/5 months so I don’t think it could be a hitchhiker. thought those egs wouldnt hatch in anything but brackish water... Is that really a nerite?
But to the main question, one of my mature ones has a blister look on its underside but appears otherwise healthy doing his normal thing. Any ideas what this is?
