Fish looking and acting weirdly

[Bracehero]

Hi guys, i have 2 types of fish I would like to enquire about. First are 2 neon tetras: they are quite bloated, and i think they have dropsy? Can you guys help me to confirm it? And what can i do to resolve it?

The second is a dwarf cory. This guy's eye's look quite weird, compared to the other dwarf cory's in my tank. Secondly, he keeps swimming up and down up and down throughout the tank in a weird fashion. He keeps swimming and swimming, sometimes up and down, as if he has no idea where he is swimming. This is a 10gallon tank, now holding 8 neons, 1 goldfish (relocating), 4 dwarf corydoras and 10 scarlett badis and about 2 rcs. Hope you guys can help me resolve this issue

Isn't the number of live stock you have is too high for 10 gallon tank??

Ohh yes. Yes, it is. The neons were given as gifts. Scarlett's i bought myself, but I can remove them if you want me to, for the sake of the fish. I have a koi pond.

Water parameters okay?
Other then being bloated is it normal? feeding well?

Hi Skytan, Water parameters look fine. Yes, they are eating very well. But, I dont know if it is pregnant, bloated or just fat lol. I will check back here in 4 days about the progress.

first of all, do your fish a favor by removing gold fish asap, saw you planned to relocate it.
cories some times swim like headless chicken until they reach the water surface and return to substrate and busy with digging but continuously acting that way means something wrong.
do you see any skin color change in past few days? become pale?

Ok sure, yep, plan to relocate it to my koi pond.
This particular Cory is completely different, yes it has been turning pale, quite pale I would say compared to the others...

Bro, then get mentally prepared. 3 of my corys also turned pale..more so day by day till they die.. took them out to another tank, they also died>.<

[skytan]

In this case, the tetra should be okay if colour and everything else is okay.
I had cardinals tetras with my picky eating Samurai Gourami previously so i feed slightly more as these guys just grab what ever they can and never stops even when the bloat like this.
They will carry on and on.

[madhav96001]

its a good idea to remove it from the main tank and deal with it in a hospital tank to save the rest.
how about Scarlet Badis, they too show any signs of sickness?

[madhav96001]

watch all the fish closely to find any signs of ich..

Thanks for your reply @skytan , the bloating seems to have disappeared. Yes, they eat ALOT.

You didn't mention what food you feed them with. Some Cory's are hard to feed as they are practically blind and they sense around not with their eyes in daylight but with their barbels. I use to keep a dozen Sterbais with no problems except that they only want tubifex worms, which I have to use. It is also possible that your Corys may be attacked by microscopic life forms which have infected the water.

Hi tetrakid, thanks for your reply. I feed them flakes, however the flakes smell weird of late, however are not expired :/ and frozen bloodworms.
