I have about 9 Cory in a 30 gallon tank with 5 assorted Guppy females and their fry. (2 pepper, 3 green, 4 Julie (maze print) corys to be exact.)
In the last month that Iāve been watching the Cory (theyāve been in this tank for about 2-3 months) one green has lost the bottom half of his mouth, one Julie has had its sucker mouth picked completely off while a couple other Julieās and some of the greenās are missing their whiskers. The Peppers remain unharmed but are the largest of the group, which led my husband to suspect they might be the culprits. But coryās are so gentle, I canāt see them tearing into each other like this.
the only other fish in the tank are my guppies, which I couldnt see them doing this either. But what else could it be??
i had an albino cory (separate tank) that had the same damages done to it as now; picked at until his mouth was gone by what I thought were either black kuhli loaches or our clown pleco in a 20 gallon we still have to this day, but now that itās happening again Iām stumped. Any ideas or advice?
