Corys Dead

[Floyds mum]

Just found 2 of my new cories dead
Obv. i need to do a water test but could it have been cos they were abit too small/young to be sold?
No obv. signs of ill health.

 

[WILDER]

Bless them.
R.I.P.

Sadly it happens. If there were no signs of ill health, it could of just been stress.
How long did you climatise the new corys for.

 

[Floyds mum]

In total about 30 mins to 1hr like i always do.

I have the fintro form maidenhead aquatics that slowly introduces water to the "fintro" and that take between 30mins to 1hr and i always float the bag in the top of the tank for 20ish mins.
Never had any problems before

Anyway woman in the lfs said to take the fish in and a smaple of water and if there is nothing wrong with the water then they will replace the fish, if there is then they will do everything to help me get the water stats under control then replace the fish.

 

[WILDER]

Ok.
Poor little things never had a chance to have a life.
Good Luck.

 

[Floyds mum]

ty never thought id get so attached lol

 

[WILDER]

I hate it when little baby fish die.
Corys are so cute, it such a shame.
Let me know how the lfs deal with it.
Good Luck.

Got them sorted but just found another one dead and i cant get in for another 2 weeks, what do i do? just get rid of the dead one and hope and pray that the other 3 young'uns make it?

Im getting a larger tank at 4pm today, if i get it set up then leave it with the lights off till tomorrow should it be ok then?

 

[WILDER]

I would add a bacterial med to the tank.

If you transfer the fish to the 4ft tank, match ph and temp.

 

[Floyds mum]

Where did you get 4ft tank from? its a 35L tank
I sorted tank and put them all in last night and left light off. This am i turned light on and sat and watched them for ages lol one of the 2 adults was swimming with the 3 young'uns ill take pics of tank later.

 

[WILDER]

Sorry I read it wrong.

How are the corys today.

 

[Floyds mum]

Perfectly fine ty
Just keeping everything crossed, will probably get some more pygmys at some point.
Would i be able to have some albino cories?
35L tank 50cmL

 

[WILDER]

I wouldn't add more than 3 corys to the tank size.

 

[Floyds mum]

I wouldn't add more than 3 corys to the tank size.

huh?

 

[WILDER]

I wouldn't add anymore than 3 corys to a 35l tank.

 

[Floyds mum]

But i was told that 6 pygmys are perfectly fine for a 26L
Are you on about the albino corys? if so ok lol
