My panda cory is lying at the bottom of the tank. He hasn't moved and hasn't eaten. I have checked for all signs of illness and he looks clear. His breathing looks normal. Even though all my other fish have suffered from some form of bacteria or fungus a while ago, the cory's were unaffected. He was swimming around and eating last night. I had the water checked 3 days ago and it was fine. I noticed him floating slightly upright against a pebble and thought he was dead because he looked motionless. The bronze cory swam past him and the current from him tossed the panda on his back. He managed to turn himself right way up again but is lying very still at the bottom. I can see him blinking and rolling his eyes but nothing else. Could I have hurt him whilst siphoning the tank? The reason why I am asking is because when I siphon the tank only the tetras and rummynose run away. The pandas, bronze cory and minnow don't bother moving out of the way. There have been times when I almost sucked the pandas up the tube. I have checked him to see if he looks hurt or injured and he looks ok. His fins are still open and perfectly fine.
I have been saving up and went out today and bought a bigger tank so I could treat my fish since they have just recently recovered from columnaris. I was about to transfer them to their new tank when I noticed my panda wasn't his usual self. I'm not sure if I should do this today as I don't want to stress him out if he is sick.
I need someone to help me urgently so I can treat him quickly.
