Thank you for your response. I've moved it over to quarantine and treating it now but doubt it'll make it. I ordered their "tank bred" as opposed to their "wild caught" but I also received a Rasbora in which I didn't order as well. So I'm wondering if I got a mix of wild and tank bred Pygmy Corydoras now since it seems stock picking process wasn't carefully or thoroughly looked at. Also I treated all of them before adding them to the community tank. Treated them for and kept them in Quarantine for 3 weeks beforehand. So I dunno. Unless it's a genetic issue, but I think you might be right in that maybe I possibly received a few wild caught instead of tank bred. I contacted the breeder company for help with my issue as well. Thanks again!

Hi I am curious to find out how this situation turned out. Was it a parasite and did they survive? My Pygmy Corydoras have been fine for while and my older ones are large but light in color recently. The newer crew I noticed a few of them stayed small and dark in color, I lost two a while back. Today I have another small dark in color dying. I put it in my quarantine tank just a few minutes ago, added salt, Pimafix and Melafix. Temp is at 76 degrees. Perimeters are zero for ammonia and nitrites and nitrates, pH is around 8. Thanks for any advice. I think he's going to die soon but curious to know what might have been wrong. I had them for a month or so and they didn't grow much at all, stayed real dark, while the others grew nice and big and are light in color. Might be females surviving and males dying? Unsure. Thanks!
