Corydoras Pygmaeus hiding
Posted: 10 Jun 2021, 16:56
Hello everyone,
I am new here ^^ and French, so, I apologize for the mistakes i will write
So it's been days and days I am looking for an answer on the web but i can't find any solution.
2 months ago I added 20 pygmy corys to my 20gal long tank. There are just some shrimps with them. Ph is 6.8, gh 8, kh 5, temperature is 24/25 degrees Celsius. The thank is well planted, driftwood, floating plants, I have very fine sand. I change 20% of the water each week. We are just 2 persons living in my apartment.
The tank is running since 3 months now.
Everything was perfect, corys swimming a lot, everywhere, but since 2 weeks ago, I don't understand why, they just panic and hide when I or my bf move. And sadly, They now hide all the time.
I don't understand what happened. So I started to make my research and it seems that other persons have this issue, and also , suddenly. The problem is, i did not find any answer. I am thinking about different solutions to try. Add a dither fish ? Add other pygmy corys ? I am quite lost. Does anyone got the same problem and found a solution ?
Thanks for your help !
Have a nice day
