haizz..
y.. i do anything also fail..
corys which is very hardy compare to neon tertra..
but! i never expected that , my corys are just dying 1 by 1.. then i still could not find the root of the problem.. the first few that time is likely to be cause by guppies.. can see a lot of broken fins.. but after i gave my guppies away..
1 of them die with swollen mouth , i knoe something wrong with the mouth. dunno wat is the cause also..
but! my neon tertra are all getting fine.. how come ? water parameter comfirm is out from the doubt.
last time is flowerhorn parasite .. wah lau eh. i think i do not even had 1 day of rest ar..
really very unlucky for me this few years. :mecry:

Good luck Dino!

I hope you won't give up on ur corydoras. Since u know your tank has got osme problems, then try to do more checks on the water parameters, and if needed, change water more frequently, e.g twice or even thrice per week at smaller % change.

Cories are hardy fishes, u can chk with almond on these. really no reason why they are all dropping like flies. :doh:

Good luck to you and your corydoras! :D

i have added rid all anti ich. anyone can comfirm this medicine ? is it gd

Dino,

why did you add rid-ich? your fish has ich??

If your fish kena ich, u'll see white spots on the fish, did you see white spots??

For the mouth rotting, add some melafix 1st, anti-bacterial and kills some germs in the tank.

Good luck to you! :D

anti bacteria ? external or internal..
yep i saw them rubbing , early stage of parasite is it?
sad to say , the swollen mouth passed away..

external bacteria....

dino, u have the medicine rite? go take a look lah :2guns: :2guns:

i do not have lerz.. i got internal bacteria medicine only.. melafix counted or not? wah seh the smell sometime make me giddy.. :doh:

Dino.....
maybe u should consider changing
ur tank location...'FENG SHUI'....
wat do you think ???
;)

i also want.. no space liao.. what to do.. sob sob.. :mecry:
now what i can do is to lower ph..
but how to lower ph once and for all ? :doh:

dino
saw ur thread in aro and replied u there. as i mentioned there, it is not wise to lower ur ph drastically. ur fishes will not be able to handle the shock. u will need to lower it gradually. find out the cause of ur tank high ph. any fishes that is living in unsuitable conditions will be stressed and fall sick easily. curing the fish is only short term. u must look for the root of the problem which causes ur fish to be stress.

i also dunno what is the cause..
how abt mineral rocks? does it affect the ph? my tapwater is also alkali
never saw yr post..

tapwater ph shd be around 7.0. if it reads otherwise then there is sth wrong with ur house water. as long as u use normal gravel suitable for tropical fishes then ok. just dont use those coral sand types (usu very fine) for marine or cichlids.

my hse tap water always 7 .9 around there.. jia lat..
nah~~ i use those suitable for all aquarium use.. normal river sand lo..haha..
jia lat ar.. how sia the ph.. wah kao eh.. what do u suggest??
if ask me to put the leave change and put for few weeks ok la.. but for months to years.. where got so free man.. same goes to black water.. EX.. haha.. driftwood dunno can lower how much.. jia lat jia lat..
** can i call the hdb or ? tell them y my tap water is at 7.9 so high.. or is there any email address?? woo.. anyone have it?

it is really surprising. maybe u can check with ur neighbours or nearby fish shop water ph readings.

how are ur fishes? hope that they have recovered.

OUr tapwater can be dangerous. try to do small water change only. if u surf other websites, u will find many pp fishes dying like nobody's business. best if u can use aged water. stock up one pail of overnight tapwater with anti chlorine added. better still if u can add an airstone.

1 pail enough meh.. haha.. for 2 tanks? i dun dare to ask my neighbour lerz.. haha.. later go buy fishes and ask the fish uncle.. same block.. anyway i email the pub... hope they can do something about this..
the funny part is, the water ph is so high right. but my neon tertra which need the same ph as cory right.. around netural , but how come they are still so active..

i m no cory experts. anyway once u know the basics, u can apply your knowledge to the rearing of any kinds of fishes. b4 u decide to buy or keep any type of fishes, read up on the requirements and their natural environment. tis will help u to create a tank environment as close as their natural env. For e.g. i believe that cories are very sensitive to salt hence it is not wise to add too much of it. maybe our cory expert, fishyman can comment on this.

yea.. fishy and almond.. cory expert..
just now went bens with almond .. whoo.. now then know someone very rich.. hahaha.. and saw fishy and his OC.. WAhaHaA... :kiss:
