I have a 55g low light planted tank with 10 neons, 3 mollies, 2 SAE's and 8 corries. The corries were added about ten days ago and all seemed very healthy. They eat the wafers I drop in there and are mostly active. Every now and then they sort of just freeze where they are and dont move for a few minutes. I assumed that was normal?
Today I came home and one of them has gone completely white where they used to be a dirty dishwater grey color. I'm guessing he's dead and I'm gonna get him with the net in a minute. Another corry is awkwardly placing himself vertical along the plants like a plecco would. He'll then start to float upside down and then right himself. His gills seem to be going in overdrive like he's struggling to breath.
My ammonia is zero, nitrite zero, nitrates are between 5 and 10. These conditions have been this way since I introduced the fish. Temp is about 78 and PH has been a steady 7.2 any advice?
