Hi I posted the health query with the panda a couple of months back. It was too late for the little guy - he was my favorite :*( . I tried after this to keep the water quality up to par, 50% water changes w/ 40% gravel area vacuumed, once a week, but a problem still exists. I love corydoras and have ...

1. Water parameters a) 74-76 F b) pH: 7.4 c) GH don't know- don't have tests d) KH don't know- don't have tests e) Conductivity or TDS (if GH and KH aren't provided) don't know- don't have tests f) Ammonia: .25ppm Nitrate: 0 ppm Nitrite: 5-10ppm g) Water change frequency once a week 30-40% h ...

Good news! This morning we saw three live fry when I fed them a sprinkling of frozen baby Brine Shrimp.

Last week, the cold temps dropped the temps in my tank and after a large water change, my corydora unexpectedly spawned. I happened to have a smaller (and not corydora ...

thanks for the fast feedback corycory.

also, i will do some extra water changes this week.

In the course of 1 week, Corys seem in trouble. First my Aeneus Cory, then an albino Aeneus and now my Panda Corys having trouble swimming. The regular parameters appear just fine.
