another cory question

Justbeginningfish · 05-08-2008, 03:25 AM

I had two unexplained sudden deaths of cories last week, since then all has been well and everyone is heathly as can be. I went ahead and treated with aquazole and raised the temp of the water to 83 in the main tank and 86 in the 10 gallon that has my new pair of wild caught rams in quarantine...pretty little things!!.

They seem healthy but I thought since they were in the tank that the cories came from it would be a good idea to go ahead and treat them.

But my one peppered cory is lonely and very skittish compared to how he was when he had two little friends.

the two scwartzis are nice to him but they dont all three hang out much at all and the two scwartzis stick together like glue all of the time.

so how long before I know if all is well so I get the peppered guy a couple of friends? Im not in a hurry, just trying to plan ahead

If it were me, I would wait at least 2 weeks. Are you planning to QT the new guys when you get them, or are they going right into the tank?
