Wondering... Did you test the water that the fish were in or did you get a separate water sample?

I knew that. Wow... Major brain fart there... Sorry!

Catfish are scavengers and can very quickly over eat. This doesn't mean yours did but it is a huge possibility. Cut back on the feeding some if you can and see if that helps things. Also, check the scales. Are the scales sticking out away from the body even a little? Is the area pinkish? Pale...

I would leave it. The plant looks healthy to me. I only pull the leaves out if they melt or come off the plant and are floating in the water.

I think that you will get a lot of different opinions here. It all depends on what you want to do and how much effort you wish to put into it. Some on here put hours and hours each week into the tank doing something daily, others feed daily, do the WC once a week. Pre kids I had saltwater...

You could check AquaBid.com, they have pygmy cories too. Pygmy cory cats are small, like the dwarf cories.

My guess it that they are adjusting to the new tank. Give them time and they will grow back.

Are they new to the tank? Most times when I get a new plant, or even when I move the plants around, the leaves die off and new bright green ones grow back after a little while.

Dwarf cory cats are very small. I don't think they get larger than 1 inch.

It looks like it would be to bright to me, or for my tastes anyway. I have this one in a 60 and it is bright enough to see but not bright enough to grow a lot of extra algae. Amazon.com: Aqueon Flex LED Aquarium Bubble Wand, 14-Inch, Blue: Pet Supplies You don't have to use the bubble part...

I have had an odd experience with my upside down catfish and I hope that someone can give some advice. For over a year I have had 20 neon tetras, 3 green cory cats, 1 skunk cory cat, 2 upside down catfish, & 3 Siamese algae eaters living in a medium density planted 60 gal tank. I do weekly...

Great idea. Thanks! I have been a while since I have used them.

In my 60 gal I have 3 green cory cats and 5 gold white clouds and a lot of live plants with two penguin 350 and a EHEIM Classic 2217. One penguin 350 filter a 50 to 70 gal tank and the eheim filters 150 gals and that is all on one 60 gal tank. My 29 bow front has 2 bumblebee mollies and a lot of...

I won't be leaving until after the first of the year. I always do a 50% water change every Saturday. I can even do one the morning of my flight and the evening I get back. That would leave 19 days without a water change.

I do weekly water changes on all my tanks. I test the water two or three times a week to make sure everything is ok. So my question is how long could I go between water changes if the water tests are ok? I ask because I'm going to help my brother for close to three weeks and I wont have...
