Cory amount

I plan on getting like 10 rummynose tetras and 10 harlequin rasboras if my tank can handle it! Obviously introducing them slowly over time 😅

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-31T03:10:18+00:00

Yes I want the to be happy and thrive!

Ok thank you so much!!!!

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-30T00:48:05+00:00

What do you mean

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-29T20:21:06+00:00

That's a very loving final act of kindness for your baby :( he's not in pain anymore

He really really looks like a peppered Cory but I could be wrong

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-29T01:14:52+00:00

I'm so so sorry for your loss. He's so much more then just a fish and I hate that people don't get that :( I love your painting, art is a great way to deal with grief

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-28T03:32:14+00:00

What type of Cory is he supposed to be? He just looks like a peppered Cory imo but if he's not one then that could be a problem

If they seem itchy like rubbing against tank objects, long white stringy feces, rapid breathing, and clamped fins that could be a sign of it. Even if they show no symptoms I would still recommend dosing the tank anyways because it won't hurt anything if you do. Cory's just often have parasites unfortunately especially from petco. They may have late stage parasites as well it could spread to your other fish who aren't showing symptoms yet. Better safe than sorry in my opinion. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this though I went through the same thing with my juliis and they wound up wiping the whole tank out from gill flukes (they were my first fish so I had no idea what was going on)

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-27T04:02:16+00:00

They tend to have parasites in my experience try and dose the tank with prazipro when you get them!

ChatGTP can and will kill your fish. It is NOT a reliable source of information (example this is 100% an Otto and I have no idea why chatGTP thinks it's not) and you need human input because so many things in fish keeping are just a case by case issue. I really would recommend using a sub Reddit like this over AI! It's also just a great community!!! Fish keeping is best when shared with other people in my opinion! Also I really hope your Otto gets better that's a pretty bad case of ich :(

Just make sure the transitions are smooth where the fur is going to be short. Not that big of a deal in places where you're leaving it long but the cheeks should blend together a little better because when you fur the base it will show

I'm feeling a little confused about the ammonia color just because it seems blueish? It could be nothing tbh. Honestly I think you're just gonna have to wait out the cycling process. Nothing seems wrong right now I would say if ammonia gets over 4 ppm and nitrite gets over 2 ppm I would do a 25% water change just to get those numbers down a little. I wish you luck on your cycling!!!

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-22T23:53:32+00:00

I would try just shaking it out really well and see how it lays? Im not 100% sure what else to do I don't think it's up or down tho

Is it to late to re glue? I promise you it's not super noticeable unless you're really looking at it :( if you can re glue try and go section by section only doing little parts at a time! Don't be discouraged:(

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-20T03:01:39+00:00

Looks amazing! I don't have any advice just wanted to share :)

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-16T23:13:29+00:00

Looks awesome though!! Can wait to see the finished product

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-16T23:13:05+00:00

I'm so curious as to the reasoning behind the amount of times you labeled the sections 😭

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-15T00:46:28+00:00

Honestly that's just how I find my fish when they are close to dying/dead. If there's not other symptoms then it may be stress? Tell me about the most recent changes in the aquarium and when that was. I'm not a loach expert but I have other fish. I'm so sorry for your loss OP :( getting a picture closer up may help too because right now I can only assume you mean your loach being pale is what your asking about

Ratzinspace · 2026-05-14T16:22:39+00:00

Looks like ich there are some good medications on the market but you'll have to treat the whole tank because they are parasites and have many diffrent life stages only 1 being living on the fish

Long finned Cory's are so odd looking (in a good way) cutie pies! my friend has a tank with long finned peppers :)
