Don't know what it is with these Zebra micros. I originally bought 12 in August and found one after a month with a white tumor like growth just in front of its anus. A Cory died the very same day.
Since that occurrence another one has had a tumour like growth in the same place and promptly died, I have found the carcass of one also and as far as I can see (it is very hard to count these as they hide deep in the stems) I can only count 6.
Now today there is one (that looks healthy and colourful) gasping away at the water surface. I though about my recent CO2 increase that maybe it was too high but then why are the corys quite happy on the substrate, the other micros still happy in their stems (near the substrate) and shrimp acting normal?
Are these fish more susceptible to disease/bacteria etc than others?
Don't think I will buy them again once they are all gone.
