    Cory fishes not eating, swimming near surface

    I have been watching the aquarium quite a bit today (and also gave away one of the plecos): 2 neon have fin rot (but they had this for months now without much change), and I think one of the harlequins has dropsy (very swollen belly and losing colour). some of the tetras have been 'flashing'...

    Thank you very much. No, unfortunately, I don't have a quarantine tank but I can keep doing 15-20% daily water changes in the main tank (I guess it wont harm).. their bellies look absolutely normal, as I cant see any red or any other colour spots anywhere..

    Thank you so much for the answers and suggestions. A friend will help with re-homing the plecos and the loaches (I have 2 of them too...damn lady in the shop). In the meantime, sorry to ask again but I am not sure what else to do. I did 3 good water changes and levels seem to be OK now...

    Cory fishes not eating, swimming near surface

    Thank you so much. No I don't have an airstone but I read corys are fine without as they can 'gulp' for oxygen (and in fact they were doing that quite often before, now only 2 do that, the others are just lethargic, etc). the filter moves the surface quite a bit but perhaps not enough. Is there...

    Cory fishes not eating, swimming near surface

    Hi, I am quite new to the hobby and slowly built the first tank over the last months and I am a bit concerned with my Julii corys. Since 3/4f days 4 out of the 5 we have started behaving in a really strange way, spending all time either sleeping on the top of leaves (close to the surface) or...
