Two of my cories got ich, so I quarentined them in a small tank (unfortunatly with no Filtration) and after awhile they started floating to the top of the tank like they were dead. So then I poke them and they start swimming everywhere, but after a minnute they float back to the top. What is happening? Is this the ich or the medicene?
Will Machalite Green kill cories?

i wouldnt have thought that cories were sensitive to it and i have never had a problem with cories and ich treatment.
i would take a guess that the zero filtration on the tank will not help at all and may in fact stress the fish more. small sponge filters are not expensive and neither is a 2nd hand air pump.
if you dont get a small filter sorted then that will kill them never mind the ich. i suggest you get a small air pump, a box filter and take some media out of your running filters on the main tank to get some immediate bio filtration going.
without filtration running treating the ich is almost pointless.

What are your water parameters? Did you dose as per the instructions? A heavy dose of this med can destroy your beneficial bacteria. Monitor your water parameters closely.
