No idea except maybe one of the plecos was a bit of a bully and the cory didn't move fast enough.

I sorted the fish food the other day and took stock and was getting a little low on some food.
Just had a delivery of some fish food which should keep the fish going for a while.
It's good to offer the fish a varied diet even similar stuff from a different manufacturers.
I only use good branded foods such as from Vitalis, Hikari, Tetra etc.. and also bought some different foods such as NTLabs probiotic to give it a try.
I only gradually introduce any new foods to see what the fish's reaction is and if they accept the new food.
The fish get food on a rotation to keep it varied but I have foods for the cichlids, for the tetra, for the corydoras and for the plecos (although the plecos are primarily wood eaters).

Sorry you lost a Cory Stephen. Hope everything good other than that.
Just catching up on reading through some tank logs, haven't had much time recently.
It's funny lol I always feel inadequate as a fishkeeper after reading through your log!
