Does anyone know why they have red gills? Thanks Definitely some sort of irritation. Ammonia would have been my first guess too. Are they flashing on stuff? Could be worms?

Colin Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Yeah that was my first guess also, havnt been flashing, but have only just been added to the tank so could just be adjusting to the water?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, if they've just been added I can almost guarantee it's pH. Lots of cories are really sensitive to pH changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
