    Two pandas with swim bladder issues

    I was just sitting by my tank and noticed one of my panda cories seemed to be slowly floating towards the top of the tank. Watched him for a bit and while he could get to the bottom, he would start listing slowly to one side once he got there. I decided to catch him out, while I was watching I...

    Panda problem

    Noticed one of my pandas not very active today, dorsal fin isn't as upright as my others and part of his tail is missing. I did a big water change but still wasn't happy with him. Ammonia, nitrite and nitrate parameters were at 0 before the water change. Popped him into a very temporary tank so...

    What do I do next time?

    Recently I lost my corydoras to some type of infection. Water parameters all checked out, I change water, clean filter, and siphon gravel regularly/when needed.

    Strangely Behaving Sick Cory

    Hello folks, I'm currently having a little trouble with one of my corys, decided to make a post seeking some advice about it. The issue is a buoyancy issue, I suspect he might have a swim bladder issue but I've never had a fish with swim bladder issues before so I'm not sure. When I looked up...

    Bronze Corydora female is panting

    I noticed a couple of days ago that my big female bronze cory was panting. Normally they move their mouth/gills when eating food, but she does this constantly now and has never shown this behavior before. Other than her mouth/gills moving rapidly, she also goes up for air a bit more than usual-...

    What’s wrong with my catfish?

    Hello this is Draco I’ve had him for about a year now and his stomach is getting pretty big. I’m not sure if he may be a she and is pregnant but I don’t have another catfish in there so I don’t know if it’s just going to lay infertile eggs. Draco is very active and zooms around but the stomach...

    Cory eggs?

    Found these while doing a water change on my cory tank. They were stuck to the side of the filter inlet pipe. There's only corydoras, a couple female guppies and my male bristlenose pleco in the tank. Could they be cory eggs? If so, how do I successfully hatch and raise them?

    Hi all, I’m quite concerned about my peppered corydora (1 of 3) which is spending a lot of time on its side (it slowly falls over/ down through the water) and seems to be unable to swim for more than a few moments. Ive isolated it for now. The others all seem fine and the tank parameters are...
