Cory In Shock

[BethK]

TBH I don't think there is anything I can do for the poor Julii

I came down this morning to find 1 of my cory's wedged in the pebbles and struggling to get out. I helped him out and he seemed to be swimming erratically and on his side, so I put him in the breeder's net, in the hopes it would help him calm down. Alas, this did not work, he is laying on his side, still breathing though but I think his time is nigh.

Is it very easy for cory's to lit shock themselves to death? The other 4 are absolutely fine, they all seem to shoal with the Khulis and the bettas leave them well alone. I'm just worried that if 1 cory lit dies from stress/shock of being stuck, would the others?

I'm going to rearrange the pebbles, so no other fish can get stuck like that.

Use melafix - the cory could've injured itself and it'll help with the shock
I don't think it could shock itself to death, chances are it's injured from all the struggling (could be internal)
The other will be fine if one dies. They won't follow its example
Free the fish from the net, being trapped tends to stress them out
Good luck!
