Help?!?! My corie are dying from I dont know what!?
Ok, the past 3 days 3 of my cories have died. I do not know what they died from. Today is when I found the 3rd dead, with a big red spot on it stomach. I have no idea what is killing them. I did a 45g (tank is a 55g) water change yesterday thinking it could be ammonia poisoning. Help?? I have no idea what is causing this! I don't what all of my cories to die. Oh and its just the cories that are dying, nothing else.

I just changed to sand about 2 months ago, even bought 'aquarium sand'. I just added salt yesterday. I put the amount that said to on the back (1 rounded TBSP/ 5 us gallons.)

yep....salt.....i do believe that that's what did it...cories and catfish in general do not tolerate salt very well....
