Hello,
I woke up to find one of my albino cory dead. On a closer examination it reminded of a scene from alien. The stomach had a hole and its insides were missing. Does anyone have any idea as to what could cause this?
Ph 6.8-7
Ammonia <0.25ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate < 5ppm
90 litre tank, freshwater, 24 deg C,
Internal filtration with ceramic tubes, bio balls, sponge, charcoal and a phosphate removing substance.
Established for 2 months, it was a tank upgrade
Last water change was 10% yesterday
Tankmates:
3 emerald cory
4 black cory
1 albino cory
5 zebra snail
3 amano shrimp
6 rummy nose tetra
10 neon tetra
I last added 2 weeks ago - some plants, since this i have found two tiny what i believe to be trumpet snails which have been removed, also the zebra snails and a piece of mopani wood were added then.
7 days ago i treated for fin rot as i noticed a couple of my neon tetra were showing signs of tatty tails with a white cloudy look at the ends. I followed the instructions and left the tank alone (carbon removed from filter ) for 4 days then done a 25% water change. The neons have all been cured. Back to beautiful looking fins.
Substrate is fine sand with some flourite black in the plant pots.
All the fish and plants seem to be healthy and eating. I feed frozen food twice a week and flake/ pellets the rest.
