Sort of a follow up to "what's wrong in this tank."
I got these pictures earlier of one of my pygmy cories:
As you can see, its abdomen appears swollen and it looks to me like its eyes are bulging.
I also spotted another early but failed to get a picture of one that seemed to have a deformed spine.
And one of my neon tetras also appears to be having some difficulty swimming and a strangely curved body as well.
I think I might have found the answer to "why are my pygmies so lethargic?"
I have barely been able to find the pygmies in the tank, and at this point I don't know how many remain.
On top of that, a lot of snails and likely all of the shrimp have died.
Does this sound like the tank is infected with Mycobacterium marinum?
