fish discoloration because of high ammonia?
by Aquaboy on Tuesday, July 13th, 2010 | 2 Comments
i cycled my fishtank with fish and one of my cory catfish turned sort of pale. It might of been because of high amonia levels . I finished cycling the tank and everything is fine. Would regain his color and would his gills keep buring. Is there any medication for something like that

When you add fish do it slowly. Only a fish or two at a time. The best cure for amonia levels are a well established filter which takes time. Corys are rather hardy and can tolerate water conditions other fish would parish in. Test the levels and dont add anything else or over feed until the levels are acceptable. Its a wait and see game.
no he probably has dropsy
