HI all so I woke up to find one of my peppered cories ballooning and laying on its side in the corner.
In the past month, I had 2 other cories die: the first peppered cory died when I was on vacation and I did not know the cause of death. The second sterbaI cory turned very pale (like it bleached itself) before dying the next day.
History of the tank:
Last added 5 more sterbaI cories after 1 month qt on july 20th
Prior to that the last fish added was an angelfish in february.
2 months ago I had several discus die in the same tank but without any visible symptoms (view link)
Unknown Fish Deaths
Parameters are looking good and no other fish looks ill.
I will hazard a guess at 1 of 2 things: 1) I fed the tank shrimp last night, which my cories LOVE, is it possible he ate way too much and is simply constipated or can't process all the shrimp? 2) internal bacteria is making him swell up.
Please help!
