Question
I've recently lost 8 corydoras and 1 royal whiptail, for no obvious reason. Ihave a 40g planted aquarium with 3 blue discus 20 cardinals and a few algae shrimp. I did have 8 gold stripe corys and a whiptail, but the all died in the space of a week. All other fish are fine, I make 2 20% water changes a week(mixture of RO and conditioned water) my levels are Ph 6.3, Amm 0, No2 0, No3 6, GH 6, KH 11, temperature is about 28c. I noticed that one of the corys had little clear bubbles attached to its body. Is it possible that this 1 fish was infected and killed the rest???? Any possible answer would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck with your fish!
