Aquarium Advice Freak
Got a Apistogramma pair a week ago from lfs.
A few days after introducing them my small Panda Cory dies ....
Then Apisto female showed signs of fear and stress, not eating nor swimming, mainly staying at top or bottom of tank, heavily breathing. (didn't notice anybody chasing her, she was chasing others throughout the first few days)
Another day goes by and I found her dead
Went back to lfs and realize that the other two Apisto females from same batch i got mine have ich by now (not even worker knew).
A few days ago I also realized that some of my Corries scratch themselves against gravel, stones and plants, but no sign of visible ich.
This morning when i fed them i realized what seems to be ich (pls see pics)
I am afraid for my fish and the male Apisto (from different tank at lfs) starts to hide, not eating and barely swimming (i hope won't have same destiny as female).
Here are my tank facts:
