Hello my panda Cory female (newest addition) Is looking pretty I'll. A couple of the other cories are looking a bit ill too. I'm treating with melafix and changing 10% every other day. The 134s look absolutely fine. What could be causing it? Thanks

Hey Jack,
sorry for that. Have you done anything to the tank lately ? Did you quarantine the new addition before adding to your tank ? What are your temps at and waterchanges as well. Just some more news for us to try and help
cheers jk :thumbup:

hi bb, no nothing different. No i didnt quarantine but i know maidenhead had that lot of pandas and adolfi for months. I do 4 buckets a week, the bucket is 12 litres. I feed every other day on bloodworm, courgette and prima / othre dry foods alternatly.
Temp is 25 - 26'c
Temp is 25 - 26'c
on panda and one adolfi have a slight white area on one of their eyes, only the 2 are breathing rapidly and the pandas tail seems to be trembling slightly
Have you got an airstone in the tank or a good flow in the bottom reagions ?
Did you have drastic temp changes maybe a bladder infection ?

i have 2 large airstones, one small and i now have a powerhead in there so no shortage of that. Not that i know of, i leave the water for an hour before adding it to make sure there is no drastic temp changes
it is hard to tell. any chance of a photo ? have you treated with anything yet like the twins ? Just to make sure although you stated, Ls are fine ?
cheers jk :thumbup:

i cant get a picture that shows it up :wb: yeah the ls are fine no heavy breathing or physical symptoms
maybe cut down on the bloodworm and just stay with pellets. I would also not feed for a day and observe. cheers jk :thumbup:
they are scratching quite violently on occasion. Shall i do a large water change or keep doing the small ones?
scratching can be the first sign of whitespot or scale irritation. keep an eye on them for the spots. Maybe I am wrong, but some also seem bloated. Do not feed for a day, keep and eye on spots and monitor and advise

I've been doing small ones every other day. Will keep doing that :thumbup: today there seems to be no decrease in condition
i would say if they are scratching add salt!
if white spot appears raise temp to 26
increase aeration
and look at getting soime itch treatment
slow down on your water changes for now unless your readings are high in amonia and nitrates! and if so do a big one every 3 days till normal like 30-40%
i could not see any spots
good luck
i hope it all works out well for you
