Hey guys,
Came home today to find one of my panda cory's had kicked the bucket. I have been watching him for a day or two now as he seemed less active than usual and his color seemed a bit off, but other than that he showed no obvious signs of any issues. He is in a healthy tank with no disease issues, water params are 0 NH3 0 NO2 and roughly 10-20 NO3. 78 degrees, pH roughly 7.8. No other fish are showing any signs of anything and all seems normal. Something had eaten the eyes out of him while he was dead, and also a small section of the stomach. Should I be concerned that whatever did him in might have spread to other fish through ingesting his tissue? Is it possible it was just old age and his time to go?
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks!
