I'm quite worried about one of my pepper cories. While all 3 of them arn't as active as my albino corys I know it's normal but one of them just sits on the bottom of the tank and now he has stopped eating.

I can't see anything wrong with him at all. Tested my water and everything is normal. The rest of the corys are enjoying wafer and he is just sitting by himself. I kinda poked him about 10 mins ago and he kinda swished and fell to his side and I thought he was dead....but then I saw him at the other side of the tank still he is just sitting and not doing anything.

Maybe he is just a bad specimen? ´
 
Hmmmm...that's a tough one. One of my Cory's couldn't swim upright the other day, nor could he even sit upright unless he was propped up. I was certain that he wouldn't make it through the day, but a few hours later he was fine :unsure: Tough little fish, perhaps? :flex: Not sure what's up with yours...I'd say to just keep watching him and see if he develops any symptoms. Also watch the other fish and see if they come up with any symptoms. Maybe he's just tired? Okay, probably not, but it's the only thing I could think of :p I hope he pulls through okay :thumbs: If I have any brilliant ideas or revelations as to what's wrong with him, I'll let ya know.

Oh man....he's dieing right now:( laying on his side gasping...

Apparently they have body flukes...so I bought medication for it and treated the tank about 20 mins ago....guess I was too late for him...but hopefully the others will get better.
