I just got my two new Panda Cory's about five days ago...
We also had a brand new angel fish in the tank as well.
It died the same day...then one of my pandas died today!

There is only one Panda left and I feel so horrible, I don't know what to do.
The strange thing about his is that he is shedding. His skin is flaking off.
What is this a sign for?
I took the ammonia levels in the tank, and it's fine...also the temperature is good.

Any immediate advice?! :-(
 
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
What's the make of the test kit you are using?
Do you have water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Need to rule out bad water quality first as flaking skin can point towards a number of things. Even bad water quality.

Any excess slime, flicking and rubbing, darting, erratic swimming, laboured breathing, fluffy cotton wool on the fish body or gills.
 
Agree with the above. Without stats very hard to help/diagnose. Also (nothing to do with the current problem but) corydoras need to be kept in schools, preferably 6 or more. In my experience, this is more so with Pandas due to their small size and skittery nature.
