My 40g breeder tank has been up and running for about 2 months now, and was seeded with a bag of biomedia from my established 75g tank. I'm having trouble keeping any Corydoras Hasbrosus alive... I realize now that it's likely because I dosed the tank with Prazi-pro as a preventative (I added 2 Zebra otos at the same time as the first batch of cories, and I've had issues in the past of wild otos bringing in parasites). From what I'm reading the habrosus cories are really sensitive to the anti-parasite meds...
I lost my entire first batch of the cories (6) over a 2 week period, and when I tried again after several water changes, I lost another 5 over the course of 2 weeks again. I only have one little guy left The other tankmates are all doing great, my Cherry Barbs even had babies that are growing up great despite no special care or much moss grown in yet for them to hide in. How can I salvage the situation? What am I doing wrong?
Tank parameters:
0/0/0-20
78F
Dual Hydro V sponge filters
Feeding frozen spirulina brine shrimp & daphnia, algae wafers, and omega one veggie & super color flakes (frozens one day, flakes next day)
Weekly 50% water changes
