ml> i have three corys in a 15 gal tank with 6 or 7 mollys and a pleco...
 ml> i noticed, a week or so ago, that one of the corys 
 ml> dorsal fin seemed to be eaten or broken... damaged 
 ml> anyway... today, it appears that the same general area 
 ml> of his back has been eaten... it kinda looks like the 
 ml> 'hole in the head' disease that was described in here a 
 ml> few weeks back...
 ml> what do i need to do to clear this up? i have something 
 ml> called AQUARI-SOL... it says that it is for ICK, Closed 
 ml> Fin, Body Fungus, Velevt and Sluggishness... 12 drops 
 ml> to 10gal... so i'm putting in 18 drops a day... just 
 ml> started this treatment yesterday or the day before... i 
 ml> also note that AQUARI-SOL recommends boosting the tank 
 ml> temp to 85degrees during this treatment... it's been 
 ml> running at ~76degrees... i've just boosted the tank 
 ml> temp a bit and will need to see it settle out before 
 ml> the next step...
 ml> i suppose this cory's condition could be caused by a fungus but...
 ml> i do add some ACT at least once each week or two... and also some 
BIOZYME 
 ml> every once in a while... last week or so, there was 
 ml> also a "bloom" of cloudiness but i feel that that was 
 ml> from too much of another type of food pellets being put 
 ml> in... the water got a reddish tint and the food was red 
 ml> also... after adding some ACT and BIOZYME, the 
 ml> cloudiness cleared up after two or three days... this 
 ml> is an established tank... been running fine for two 
 ml> months or so...
 ml> thoughts?? ideas? are the others residents of this tank 
 ml> in danger? i'm glad it's not my oscar tank...

You should be careful putting so many medications and such in at the same 
time,it will stress the other fish. Is the affected area on the cory pale or 
darker? does it look like a scrape or something like that? are there scales 
missing? If yes to any of these questions isolate the cory AT ONCE!!
What breed is your cory? 
answer these questions and i might be able to figure it out.
How many tanks do you have? what kinds of fish? How long have you been into 
fishkeeping?
reply quickly and we might be able to solve your problem.
