Hi everyone.
For some reason, I'm having trouble keeping new panda corys alive.
I have a 80 gallon tank going with 50 tetra cardinal, 6 otocinclus, 5 vampire shrimps, and two honey gourami(Planning to add three more).
Three times I tried adding corydoras panda and the three times they get sick and ends dying.
The parameters are as follow:
7 PH
5 GH
2 KH
0 ammonia
0 nitrates
Under 10 nitrites.
The temp is 24 C, and about filtration, I have a JBL 1500, a aquaclear 70 and a 2200 liters/h sump. So no problem there either.
The rest of the fish are perfect, not a single one died. Isn't a new tank either as the tank have been going for over one year with different species. It's just the panda cories.
About plants, I have anubias, java fern and cryptocorynes submersed, and above water I have some big pothos and peace lilies.
I have buy three times from three different reputable stores, so it doesn't seem to be bad stock either. I buy them online, and I have them at home in under 16 hours.
I have read about this: Corydora Self Poisoning.
But wouldn't that be a widespread issue with all cories then?
Any idea where the problem might be? Thanks.
