I came home today and noticed my panda cory catfish has chunks missing from its fins and what seems like to be a hold on his bottom belly area. My dwarf gouramis are nipping at the cory cat, and when the cory trys to swim he goes straight up then falls straight down. What could be wrong with him?
**All levels are perfect i checked.
My fish is dying?! please help!?internet
Gouramis are very territorial and aggressive. Furthermore, if they are not fed adequately they may eat other fish. Try limiting the ratio of fish to gallons, giving the gouramis more room to themselves, and monitor feeding more closely.
As mentioned before, your panda cory catfish just may have been purchased sick or with parasites. The gouramis may see it as an easy target.
You're catfish is most likely being eaten. But, it can be saved.

separate him from the rest. they may sense he is ill. remove the cory.
he could have some infection, or ur other fish could b aggressive
he may have a damaged swim bladder. the swim bladder is what keeps the fish balanced while swimming and is probably why he keeps falling. get him in another tank and ad melafix to treat his fins and hope that he recovers.
best thing is to separate it, better safe than sorry, either give up the cory or the gouramies because they won't stop...choose which one you like better!
Isolate him. At least get him into a refugium of some sort.
