One of my bronze Cory cats has suddenly gone very pale and just lays at the bottom rarely moving in the past week or so but all of the other fish in the tank look good and healthy any suggestions on how I could the help the fish?
In my tank there are:
4 bronze Cory cats
1 guppy (getting a couple more soon)
5 neon tetras
2 amano shrimp
And the tank is 54 litres.

Ive noticed the Corys are on gravel, They need sand. Gravel wears down the barbels which can get infected.
Corys normally only go pale in times of stress.
10G seems a bit small for the amount of fish, Any idea what your tank stats are?
 
Sorry i had not finiahed editing my first post, Kids mithering at this time of night/morning
No worries, and Iā€™m thinking of investing in some sand soon for them but Iā€™m not sure as to why this one has suddenly gone pale Iā€™ve even got a smaller juvenile Cory that hatched from an egg in the tank that is doing fine so not sure whatā€™s wrong with the pale one.
