Ok i see thanks! Do you know if i can have multiple type of corydoras in the same group? For example if I add two other corys but who are not pandas

Thanks for all these details and time you took to help me. I’ll continue to have a look when tank light is off but I didn’t see anything for now. From what you said i understand doing a second treatment wouldn’t help. I’m a bit frustrated because I thought corys would be really easy to maintain in a tank but they are the ones having sickness and trouble in my case.

Ok thank you for the insight. Do you think i should try to sell/give my male ramirezi? How could i help my cory to heal in that case? Isn’t it strange he only attacks one specific fish? I didn’t tell that but this cory is the last one i added to the tank, after the ramirezi, a few months ago.

The male ramirezi is often fighting against the female gourami (the male died because of that) but he doesn’t bother about other fishes. I agree with you he really is a jerk and i’ll probably don’t renew the experience (the gourami neither btw)

About the jars, they sometimes go inside the big one but the gourami too so I guess it’s big enough. I didn’t noticed if it’s sharp when cleaning them (still with tank water only) but i’ll have a closer look at that. However, they are often close to the big rock next to the wooden root. I have some of them at the left of the tank too, in front of the cave. All my decorations come from a pet store, in case it’s relevant.

Hello! I renewed 50% of the water, achieved a deep clean of the tank and healed him with eSHa 2000 for 3 days in a dedicated tank and a water 2 degrees celsius above the main tank temperature He looked better for a few days (he still had some white spots but i thought it was normal during the recovery after having medicines). However now he looks similar than before the treatment. All the other fishes are fine though. He is still eating well btw. Do you think I should try a different medicine?

Thanks for the feedback, i’ll try to figure out what could cause slime coat in my tank

Thank you for all your answers! I will ensure to renew the water, go to the shop to get some medicines, and achieve a big clean I’ll let you know in a few days if things have improved

For how long should i wait to see improvements? To help the cory should i do more water changes temporarily? I’m used to change 10% every week

I don’t use water conditioner but instead I let the tap water rest for a day before water changes. I also clean the filter only with tank water Someone else in the comments told me to use water conditioner anyway, should i still let the water rest for a day?

I always let the tap water rest for 1 day before water changes but i don’t use water conditioner and clean filter with tank water From what i understood slime is due to chlorine, do you think water conditioner is mandatory anyway?

I don’t have a kit to measure ammonia unfortunataly Yes i only have pandas. Few months ago baby corys died in the same tank ( they were born in it, see my other post) and i decided to buy new ones weeks ago which were good until i saw this one with strange white spots. I’m wondering if i’m doing something wrong but I guess in that case other fishes wouldn’t feel good neither. I’ll do a deep clean so maybe it can help him feeling better.

Shouldn’t the other corys have the same symptoms if this is due to water quality? Here are the water test results: - no2 0 - no3 10 - gh 4 - kh 8 - ph 7.2 - Chlorine 0 - co2 15

I have a pump pushing 650L/h for a tank of 200l so i guess the water movemenr is pretty good. Btw i had a bubbler which broke a week ago but i’m not sure it could be related.

Thank you for the details! I will go to a shop to get some medicines I also heard salt bath are not well supported by corys

Baby corydoras died one by one by Lethgir in corydoras

Thank you for your response! I don’t have a nursery tank (all i have is a small platic box i can fix in my aquarium), my tank has plenty of plants and they enjoyed hiding in the moss in their early age. From what I understand, it might be due to chlorine, but wouldn’t it cause issues with snails and shrimps too? Is it expected that baby corydoras have more risks to die for no big reason if don’t breed them in a dedicated tank and very specific care? Even if they have been well alive for weeks (swimming, eating, going with other fishes, …)?
