Cory I know it’s low but all my tanks are running at 6.0 pH (It’s what comes out of the tap) but the only tank where the cory’s, and only the cory’s, are dying is the 29. The low pH of my tap water is why I keep fish (primarily South American) that come from acidic waters.

Good job Irene! You don't need to apologize about the size or number of tanks you have, you don't need a fish room to be in this hobby. Good luck.

I have a well established tank (29 gal) with stable parameters pH 6.0, N3 0, N2 0, and Am .25. All the other fish in this tank are doing great. I had a group of Panda Cory's in there for well over a year all's good until abut 6 weeks ago when I found them all dead when I went to feed the tanks. Once I removed all the dead Cory's I treated the tank with General Cure (I followed the treatment procedure). Waited a month all the other fish are still doing great. I even transferred some of the fish into another tank with Cory's in it with no losses. So I get another group of Cory's quarantine them for a couple of weeks then put them in the 29 gallon where all the fish are doing great. I go to feed the tanks the following morning and the Cory's in that tank are all dead. I did notice some bruising on the bodies behind the gills. I don't have this issue in any of my other tanks with basically identical parameters. Any thoughts?

Thanks. It’s built into the wall between my office and the kitchen/great room.

Snails don’t do well in my water. My pH is 6 that’s why I have SA fish.

How do you keep your quarantine tank cycled between occupants?

Good job!

They’re in the food rotation.

The Fish Room in Wilmington is a nice store.

I picked up a 40 breeder and a 20 long.....an early birthday present.

I’ve had these for a very long time.

LeeLee Try C-Macs and Upscale Aquatics in Charlotte. I understand they’re both very good and they’re closer to the Myrtle Beach area.

Thanks Dan. I’m outside Wilmington in Brunswick Cty.

I was out of the hobby for quite a while if you don’t include the 1000 gallon Koi pond I dug in the backyard of my old home. I keep Discus in a 120 community tank and I also have Kribs, Rams and Apistogramma nijsseni and cacatuoides in smaller tanks. I live in an area with1 LFS (and they do mostly marine) and a couple of chain stores so not much available outside of the run of the mill so I’ve been getting my fix on Aquabid and other online sources. I’m looking forward to some good discussions.
