Corys dying
What kind of Cory's.. There are numerous types out there, and a lot that
look very similair... ID the species and there might be some help... What did the gills look like? I had a bout with mine dropping dead, it coincided with the plant food.. I think the cleated iron had something to do with it.. Tim... "todd" wrote in message om...

Well I believe they are corydoras loxozonus I ad no plant food or any other chemicals except stress coat at water changes. The only thing I can think of is maybe the charcoal in the filter but I doubt it. As far as I could see the gils were normal. Thanks for the response.

Firemouths and Severums can be very aggressive especially if they are in the spawning mood. The best temperature to keep Corydoras at is room temperature although 79 degress is not going to kill them quickly it will certainly reduce their life span. I have 15 varieties of Corydoras in my fish room , none of the tanks have heaters and the temp ranges from the lower tanks at 69-70 to upper tanks 72-74.. Rick
