I started off with a clan of 6 panda corydoras, and I have a feeling that soon we'll be down to zero I know that pandas have a habit of being harder to keep than other cories, but why do they just keep dying in my tank?
My tank is 125 litres. Sandy base, tonnes of plants and things for them to hide in. As well as the pandas there are 6 julli corydoras, 5 neon tetras and 5 glowlight danios. Everyone gets along.
However, my pandas just KEEP dying It always happens so suddenly too, I'm not sure what the problem is with my poor little pandas. My tank has been running for around 6-7 months now, we do water changes every week. Nitrite = 0, ammonia = 0, everything is perfect basically. It just doesn't make sense that there have been 6 deaths only in my tank - one being a neon, the others ALL being pandas.
Every time before they die they seem to lose control of their bodies, randomly. I believe it would be swim bladder failure? But it seems to be random. They suddenly can't control themselves and start swimming at odd angles in a really disturbing manner, they try and sit down but can't and keep rolling on to their sides - a while later they will suddenly be able to sit upright again perfectly and move around without falling over, and then suddenly they die Plus I believe that with swim bladder failure the fish would float to the surface upon death? Mine never do.
Is there any reason for this, or is this the name of some sort of disease? And if so, why is it only my little pandas that seem to get it?
