Just lost one of my Corydoras Longipinnis, found it floating upside down this morning, but when I went near it it swam off - has been upside down all day, so I added some API Melafix earlier (general bacteria treatment), but have just found it lying dead at the bottom of the tank. It looks fine, so not quite sure what caused it.
2 other Longipinnis, 3 Cory Schwartzi, 4 botia striata, 4 red honey gouramis and 18 cardinal tetras are all very happy in the tank, so not quite sure what the cause was, could it just be "one of those things"?
Tank has been stocked for 6 weeks now, fish loss has been:
1 Cory schwartzi - appeared to be a runt, never grew compared to the other 3, and was found dead after 3 weeks
1 cardinal - found dead floating one morning in the first week
MIA are 1 cory longipinnis and 1 cardinal tetra, not been seen for a couple of weeks now (I'm chalking these up to cannibalism, since I have seen ZERO remains).
Any observations or points for concern at all? Did a 25% water change about a week ago, but would be surprised if this was water related given that all other fish appear happy?
