hi i have 6 corys 3 are bronze and 3 are albino. Today i noticed taht 1 one of my bronze cory is constantly hanging on top of the water gasping for air i think? and he never goes to the bottom. None of my corys do that except when they go up to take a gulp of air and go back down. This cory has been doing this for the past 6 hours. can anyone help me?

I'm not sure if I can help or not. The first thing to do is to make sure that the water parameters you have are right for the fish (see ). Do you condition your water before water changes? I had similar problems with paleatus which I think was due to excessive temperature and possibly gill damage from tap water not properly conditioned (I now use Start Right or similar products and have had no further problems). Anyway, hope your fish recovers.
