mts sufferer Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi my sister got 5 panda cories about 6 weeks ago. And about two weeks ago we could only see 4 in her tank (34L) but I wasn't too worried because it is heavily planted and it could easily be hiding. This morning my sister saw a dead one, it looked quite recently dead so it wasn't the one from two weeks ago. It didn't have spots or any other visible symptoms of any diseases I know of. We decided to clear some of the plants out to see how many she has left. There were two alive ones left out of the five and no more bodies :tears: :cry1: &c:ry . The two left seem healthy, are eating and active. The other fish in her tank (guppies) seem fine as well. Does any one know why this is and how to treat it?

Jaide Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 How many guppies and what is used for filtratation? 34L sounds a bit small - what are the tank measurements? What are they being fed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 What are your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and kH readings on the tank? What is the pH? What type of filter and what is being fed and how often? Do the cory ever come out to feed or do you never actually see them eating. What is the substrate and also do they still have their barbells?

mts sufferer Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 How many guppies and what is used for filtratation? 34L sounds a bit small - what are the tank measurements? What are they being fed? There are four guppies about 1.5 -2 cm long and another 3 much smaller, these aren't permanent in the tank, just fill ins until she has the money to get more fish. Here is the Tank http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=60157 its an aqua one 380 aquarium. Dimensions 380 x 250 x 460 mm. Filtration is a built in biological wet/dry filter that does 400 Lph. What are your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and kH readings on the tank? What is the pH? What type of filter and what is being fed and how often? Do the cory ever come out to feed or do you never actually see them eating. What is the substrate and also do they still have their barbells? Ammonia is 0 ppm and pH is 7.2. I don't have any of the other test kits. They are fed once a day a mixture of either nutrafin max flake, nutrafin max micro granules, crushed up algae wafers and every week or so bloodworms. All of which the pandas have come out and eaten. The substrate is some stuff that I got from organisms there is a pic of it in the link above. They still do have there barbells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
