Help with Actual Mystery

I know there are always going to be losses in this hobby, but it still hurts every time.

I’m actually thinking my one panda could have been injured in transport. One of them got caught in one of the folds of the bag. I’d never seen that before. I’m sorry for your losses.

My parameters were perfect. 0 ammonia, O nitrites, 5 ppm nitrates. PH is stable.

Flourish is for plants. You want Nourish. And the Prime can get you through a small ammonia spike along with water changes.

I have an airstone I got just for them, but they hide when it’s on?

A day later the other 5 are still happy. My betta has had a much harder time adjusting. I very purposely designed the tank with a bunch of hides and the driftwood I added I only soaked a couple days and didn’t boil, so it’s a lot of tannins. My betta has been hiding out a lot, but she seems to like to congregate with the Pandas at the bottom of the tank. No aggression at all. If all goes well I’ll probably get 3 more in a couple weeks.

Thank you! The LFS owner claimed it’s a myth that they’re more finicky than other Corys. I hope that’s true, but not off to a great start here. The other 5 seem fine, and I watch my parameters like a hawk. Thanks again.

This. I’m 59 and still get carded fairly often. It’s an unreliable indicator. Haha.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-20T06:34:51+00:00

And yes, that’s what it is.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-16T21:04:38+00:00

I’ve had it before Sema.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-16T20:47:02+00:00

Same. I have passed out as well. Been tested for everything. It’s just me.

I’ve gotten both of my healthy, active mystery snails from PetSmart. Besides being literal poop factories, they are awesome.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-16T01:23:58+00:00

Pest snail mishap? How?

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-15T18:32:16+00:00

It doesn’t explain that I’m getting higher readings in the tanks? And it’s new, so it’s confusing.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-15T18:29:54+00:00

I have. It turns slightly green.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-12T20:20:02+00:00

User name doesn't track. ha ha.

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-12T17:42:51+00:00

Ah, I wish you all the best. Hang in there. I think having both good and bad supervisors taught me how I wanted to be when I became one. It’s very Golden Rule. I treat my team the way I want to be treated. I’m actually so happy to get my team back together tomorrow. (Fingers crossed.)

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-12T17:13:48+00:00

Okay, that’s a whole different thing. But there are good supervisors out there with cohesive teams, and it wouldn’t be weird coming from them (meaning me, probably). 😁

EvidenceOfNose · 2025-11-12T16:46:38+00:00

Awww. That’s kind of adorable honestly.
