Hi all
I had 6 Julii Corydoras until four days ago, I found one dead with what appeared to be a big red wound on the side, I didn't take a photo but it looked just like this Panda Cory

So I went to Maidenhead Aquatics and they said there's nothing I can do and to expect all of my Cory's to die from red spot disease!
Refusing to do nothing I have bought this stuff from them as it said it helps with red spots

Is there anything else I can do?
I did a 25% water change when I found the first dead one, I checked the water parameters first and found the following.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate barely even registered, there was a very faint pink hue to the test
PH 7.5
Water temp 25°C
But I did it anyway as was due the weekly clean so two birds one stone.
The 2nd one I found dead when I went to do the first dose of medicine, this one had no red spots or anything on it but I assume it will be the same cause of death.
There is a third Cory that really doesn't look happy, it has been hyperventilating for a few days and it's barbels are very short. However it seems to be holding on since the medication has gone in, there are no red spots to my eye but when I took a photo it showed up quite red, weird how I can't actually see it! They're in a sandy substrate so it's not sharp gravel or anything damaging the barbels as the other three look very healthy, no hyperventilating and very long barbels. I'm trying to go near the tank as little as possible and to be very quiet around the tank as I want to remove any sort of stress I can from them.
Unfortunately I can't afford a separate hospital tank at the moment but when I can do so I will set one up.

Panda Cory dead - red blotch or injury on its side.
I found one of my Panda Cory's dead this morning, Had a red blotch or injury on his left side. Seemed fine yesterday. I check tank daily since I have had a few other Cory issues. Not sure if I should do a preventative dose of meds or if this was an injury. I have lost 3 Panda's from this shipment...
