hi everyone. thanks in advance for the help. i have a ten gallon tank with 3 corys, 4 guppies, and a couple ghost shrimp. All the fish are small and will hopefully get a chance to move to my 55 gallon tank in a week or so. i noticed today that one of my corys has a spot on his head. it looks almost like he rubbed the skin off, it's pale and human flesh colored kinda. it immediately did a tank cleaning, vacuum gravel and about 50% water change. i was too freaked out to test the water first. after the change the water tested fine. then my mystery snail died. then my female guppies are starting to turn black starting from the tail end first. as far as i can see, the male guppies and the other two corys look fine. i've lost 5 or so ghost shrimp over the past couple weeks also. please help me figure this out. this is my first aquarium and sometimes i feel i'm stumbling around in the dark. thanks again.
