A few weeks ago I decided to add 6 Panda Corys to my 260 litre tank. All seemed to go well at first and the Pandas were full of life and schooling together. After a while i started seeing less and less of the Pandas and noticed that they were looking unhappy hidden away alone or in twos in the plants and drift wood.
1 died within the first few days. When i found a second body i suspected that the water quality could be the cause. so i did a quick test (ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5). all looked ok but did a 30% pwc anyway. Another one died about two days after the pwc. I now have only 2 left out of the original 6. All of my other fish seem healthy (10 x zebra danio, 3 x rams, 6 x neon tetra, 5 x guppy, 4 x oto)
Today i noticed a Panda with a shredded tail being chased by an Oto which was sucking frantically at its side.
Could this small Oto be the cause of the dead Pandas?
