Pictures? What are the other tank mates?

She may have been chased by other bigger tank mates. How long has she been there? (Approximately)

a few hours. there are 5 other cories, 2 swordtails and a whole lotta guppies. perhaps it was the male cories? or people stealing her food. her fins are down but thats probably bc shes well under a rock

i cannot ge tpictures right now, she looks to maybe be resting because when i got her she had a missing barbule and seemed to be chill. the barbule is growing back and seems to be better, its a bigger stub now

She probably just got startled by something. Pictures will help when you get a chance.

I’m sorry for your loss...

Remove the body so ammonia doesn’t build up. Are any of the other fish showing similar symptoms?

Nope none at all. I got a bigger one so she will be up the pecking order hehe the tank water was so pure the employee at petsmart was confused why the ammonia tester didnt change color. I am on my way to 200 hardness too!

It happends sometimes. Sorry for your loss.
Corys do so many weird things that things can be difficult to determine if its sick or not
