Help!!! Sick corydoras habrosus

I have just noticed that one of my new (been in for 1 week) corydoras habrosus has developed a sand like colouration across the first half of it's body and I am very worried about it. There are 9 other corydoras habrosus in the tank, 4 of which are adults whilst the rest are new. Sharing the tank with them is 1 hara jerdoni, 10 cherry shrimp and 4 amano shrimp. The tank itself is a 64l 24'x11.6'x14' (wxdxh) that is heavily planted. Any suggestions? Has anyone any seen anything like this before?

Hi FishyMcFishFish,
Sorry for your loss. I've kept C. habrosus before and lost them also. Never a fun experience. And maybe it means nothing, but I've always thought that because they are so small, they tend "to go" (die) rather abruptly; it's my impression that they don't look sick for a prolonged time, and they don't give you a lot of opportunity to treat them. Better luck to you in the future.
Cheers, Eric
