Help!!! Sick corydoras habrosus
I have just noticed that one of my new (been in for 1 week) corydoras habrosus has developed a sand like colouration across the first half of it's body and I am very worried about it. There are 9 other corydoras habrosus in the tank, 4 of which are adults whilst the rest are new. Sharing the tank with them is 1 hara jerdoni, 10 cherry shrimp and 4 amano shrimp. The tank itself is a 64l 24'x11.6'x14' (wxdxh) that is heavily planted. Any suggestions? Has anyone any seen anything like this before?

Re: Help!!! Sick corydoras habrosus
Hi FishyMcFishFish,
Sorry for your loss. I've kept C. habrosus before and lost them also. Never a fun experience. And maybe it means nothing, but I've always thought that because they are so small, they tend "to go" (die) rather abruptly; it's my impression that they don't look sick for a prolonged time, and they don't give you a lot of opportunity to treat them. Better luck to you in the future.
Cheers, Eric
