Thanks for the response. I had wondered about the otos, 'cause they are perfectly fine. I do feed peas to them all. Total favorites in my tank!

They are all different types and it's definitely not spawing behavior. In my 55 gallon tank, I watched spawning for a couple of hours today! Managed to get TONS of eggs before the gourami ate them all!

Anyway. One of the cories died today. It was the newest addition and the largest. Also the one showing the most floating behavior and lethargy.

The rest are: I've had all for about 6 months except the one who died today. A panda - I believe it was full grown when I got him. Trilineatus - May have grown slightly since I got him. Albino (aeneus) - was not fully grown when I got him. Paleatus - was very young when I got her. She's about doubled in size.

The only other one showing the float problems was the trilineatus. All the others are just very subdued and inactive.

Temperature is roughly the same. On warm days it may go up a degree or two, but nothing extreme.

Usually their diet is frozen blood worms, frozen brine shrimp, algae wafers, flake food scraps, shrimp pellets and various veggies. Green beans, peas, spinach that sort of thing.

I'm just at a loss. I've been looking up online whenever I can but haven't found much at all.

I had noticed a bit of "flashing" earlier in the week and just to make certain there were no parasites such as flukes, I did use quICK cure which actually seemed to help - may have been coincidence - but definitely no more flashing.
