I have 11 corys in QT with 5 Red Eyes and 6 Flame Tetras. I know Red Eyes can be nippy but didn't think they would bother corys. These guys are tiny.
There is one that just lays at the bottom with his fins clamped down and doesn't move. Didn't move for the water vac when I did a water change. I'm not sure if he is sick or not. The other corys are doing fine.
Should I pull him out and ISO him separately?
Pull the whole cory school out to a 10 gallon QT of their own?
Wait and see.
He did take off when I was filling the tank and swam straight up but the red eyes did nip at him at that moment. I haven't seen it any other time.
The tank has 8.0 pH, .5 ammonia (before water change), 0 nitrites and 0 nitrates (I am going to stick some seeded media in there if necessary my last QT needed meds that killed my media).
Any advice?
