On my way home from the LFS (hubby is driving). Just purchased four Emerald Cories to join the Bronze in my 55g that I adopted from a neighbor. They looked fine in the store's tank but after getting bagged one was swimming some kinda upside down/kinda sideways.
The retailer actually suggested I not buy him but I didn't want just get the original three I came for and leave him by his lonesome. She gave me $5 off on him.
The fish are hopefully resting somewhat comfortably while I write this as I have them in an extra large bag from the LFS and in a large cooler to preserve the water temp. as much as possible.
I'm wondering what to do at home to ease his transition, assuming he makes it that long!
The tank is a 55g. Moderately planted, low tech, EC and black sand base.
Current inhabitants are: 7 longfin gold Danios, 9 neon tetras, 1 adult Bronze Cory, several baby MM Platies, and a few nerite snails.
Major PWCs performed twice a week. Tank is fully cycled four months.
Ideas? I'm attached to "Nemo" already.
