i originally slowly stocked my Tank 1 with 6x Panda cory's...ended up losing them one by one, with no obvious reasons.

Once i lost all of them. i decided to go for a slightly bigger corydora, so went with some Peppered ones that were slightly bigger. The LFS told me that pandas are very small and rarely do well in new tanks?

I first bought 4 peppers and they seemed to be doing ok, i actually saw them eating...more than i did with the pandas.
A few days ago i added 2 more to take numbers up to 6. Next morning 1 had died (unsure if one of the original 4 or the new 2).
I feed 6/7 days a week pinch of flake or Dalphina or 1/2 block of b.worm. and 4 small round wafers for the corys.

Water stats are (yesterday)

Amm = 0
Ni = 0
Na = 40 (did 50% w/c)
ph = 7.2


I did let them float for ages in the bag, and slowly added amounts of tap water. to acclimatise them.

I love corys...they are so cute..just dunno what im doing wrong? any ideas?
 
Aww what a shame :sad: were they from the same lfs has the pandas??

Have you tried granules for the corys? i only feed my corys wafers every so often,but their diet consists of many different foods.

I hope it was a typo error where you say you slowly added 'tap' water!! (when acclimatising) :crazy:
 
lol...yes it was a typo..meant TANK water...fingers thinking before brain again.

The panda's were made up from both out 2 LFS's. The Peppers are from the "better" of the 2...although i think they are as bad as each other tbh!!
