barthog1 Fingerling Posts: 38 Kudos: 44 Votes: 25 Registered: 16-Apr-2005	Came home tonight to find another of my peppered corys floating. This poor little guy looked to have just moved on one side of him looked to be paralysed - his fins were all closed up whlie the other side looked fine. Water parameters all test fine - PH 7.0, Nitrite - 0, Nitrate 5. Any ideas what might have happened to him??

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	barthog, makes me think that maybe something was sprayed in the area of the tank? possibly he got ahold of something that fell into the tank by accident? Had a stroke? Go ahead and start doing some water changes in case it was something in the water, though it may not have been...30% today, 3-4 days 30%, etc...for a couple of weeks will help remove whatever might have been in the tank, and keep an eye on the other guys, and let us know...heidi michelle "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

I have started the water changes. Keithgh, I am up in Newcastle NSW. I will give it mybest shot to save these guys. If it all goes pear shaped I'll give the bronze guys a go. For some reason I seem to have gotten hooked on corys........hmmmm.
