So for the past 2 to 3 weeks now my 5 corydoras have been dying slowly one by one. 1 has already died. 2 and 3 are now breathing heavy and not eating or moving around...slightly tilted on the ground. There are no visible signs of sickness such as white spots/flakes, bumps, redness or injury...

Did a thorough clean of my tank and mysteriously the sick one is GONE! Not a trace of him to be found. Same goes for one of my two Neon Tetras. He looked sick the night before as he was just hanging vertically between on of my plastic plant branches....the next day he was also GONE! No sign...

I'm not sure but I might as well ask: -water temp? -freshwater or brackish water? -land to water ratio? -what do you feed them and how much / how often? -sometimes they may fight and sustain injuries (my larger female RCC had attacked my smaller male RCC and his arm was 85% torn off after she...

Sounds exactly like my case. Actually, I haven't been able to find my sick Cory now for the past 2 days. I'm assuming he also has died after being sick for about 1.5 to 2 weeks. I'll be cleaning out the tank thoroughly today so I'll hopefully find him somewhere. It sounds like everything was...

Sorry to say, I don't think it's an "egg" issue. It definitely sounds like your Cory is sick just like mine is (or was). I wouldn't take him out until he's actually dead. Corys and other fish may look like they about to die and sometimes survive and make it. I've been doing reading and...

I think my cory is going through the same thing as yours except no white balls and my tank has no plants/dirt but i use gravel and artificial plants. All my other corys are fine except this one that also wasn't eating and not moving much just sitting alone. There were no visible signs of...

Yeah the first week and half or so he wasn't eating much and moving much. My tank had the case of ichs a couple months back and I raised the temp to about 86-87 celsius for 2 weeks and they got better (the neons that survived, 10 of 12 didn't make it but 2 of them did and are well today). I'll...

as far as I can see, the other fish are not sick and all look perfectly fine and healthy. This one was showing signs of sickness (lack of movement and not eating much, just sitting sort of off balance at times on the floor) for the past week and half. I thought maybe it could be some disease...

Help, one of my cory fish was not moving much and I got him to come to the edge so i can get a good shot. It appears as if he either sustained a flesh wound or could it have been a disease that made his gill fall off? The other side is perfectly fine, but this side you can see a chunk seems to...

One of my red clawed crabs died probably a few days ago....I didn't know until yesterday when i what looks like arms from the crab floating around the tank. When I found him, he was pale and had a very nasty smell and when I took him out, he literally melted and turned to goo. I saw him...

late lastnight I checked in on him and he was dead (upside down in the water). I took him out and examined his body and saw that indeed his claw arm was 85% severed but still attached. I was shocked that he just died though. Does anyone know why he may have died? Could it be shock? Stress...

he's moved around a bit in the same spot and so far his claw is still attached. I can't see it clearly and I don't want scare him and force him to move more, but it's not dangling or anything, just i saw a big crack where some fluid was coming out underwater when he moved that arm around...

I have 3 RCC's and they were living together in my tank ok for the past 4 months with the minor "scuffles" for territory but nothing ever serious. Just a few minutes ago, i heard some scuffling and went to check what was going on. The bigger RCC must've tried to attack the smallest RCC...

One of my RCC seems to have turned really dark in color....almost granite / midnight greyish. He's usually a light brown but I'm wondering if there is anything to be concerned about. Also a little update on my tetras that came down with ichs. After about 3 weeks of raising the water temp to...

Thanks, very nice tips!
