Hi all,
I don't seem to have much luck keeping Cories having just lost another, this time to some white fluffy fungus on it's head. It was a little red on it's gills and when held up to light quite red inside.
I have an API master test kit and my water seems pretty good quality wise. My pH is 7.5, is this perhaps too high? Are there any other water parameters that this test kit doesn't cover that are important for cories?
I have a 125L community tank and all the other fish seem perfectly healthy, having only lost a couple of Swordtails and Cories in the 6 months it's been setup. I have only one Cory left now which I've had since not long after cycling the tank, this is an Albino and seems very hardy. I've tried to introduce others including Albinos and Schwartzis but they don't seem to last long. The Albino I have has very short barbels, I wouldn't consider my pea gravel substrate to be sharp though so I'm not sure why they're short.
I love Cories and really want to keep more of them. Does anyone have any clue what could be wrong?
