Hey hon what was the tank size again, how many are there? How are your water stats doing, are they eating ok and are there any other symptoms? When did you notice them being pale and is it all over paleness or patches?

Just noticed tonight, water stats ok, 43L, and general slight colour loss and no other symptoms.

Im just wondering what could have caused it? i saw them swimming after lights went out last night.

Hi Floyds mum

While corys seem to change their color a bit depending on their surroundings, going pale is not usually a good sign. Have you been doing regular water changes and bottom vacuuming?
