Cory curse

[Hholly]

I had my cories on Ecocomplete with no problems.

Well, lost that last little Cory. My water parameters remained excellent (0,0,5), i had lowered the water temp. to 78° and the sand had been stirred. Short of nuking my tank with antibiotics I think I am done with Cories until when and if I switch the substrate to pool filter sand and Eco-complete.

My other fish remain healthy and thriving. I just added a school of Harlequin Raspboras and they're doing great.

Thanks for troubleshooting this with me folks. I appreciate it.

I think there is something other fish carry in that they are carriers but not effected. only the cories. Because if you are Deep cleaning and keep the Substrate clean. I could not keep cories, Pandas specifically. I discovered one pet store must have been hidden danger lurking under the surface of the fish. Every time I added a new fish, i'd lose a cory. I stopped going to that store for months. Then got my cories from another store. I didn't add anything but Dipped decontaminated plants. I still have one little cory from that group. Try another store, and clean the heck out of the sand. Might I suggest some Malaysian trumpets snails? They seem to eat junk under my sand too. plus algae! Now its a paradise. i have a trio of pandas, 1 albino, 1 pepper, bunch of rescues. Try a different species!

I just ordered MTS from a user here so I hope that will help. I may try Cories again but not the albinos. Those just can't make it in my tank.

I think the mystery was solved. I'm thinking my Angels killed them. I just added 12 Harlequin Raspboras, keeping the waters pristine at 0,0, 5. Over several days I found a few dead without any visible problems and most of the rest plain "missing". I'm thinking my Angels ate them or bullied them to death.
