@victorcugas it's actually caused from a bacterial infection from dirty substrate. The gravel in the tank is very smooth and rounded with no sharp edges. I replace water and siphon the gravel weekly, but unfortunately because it's planted I can't siphon between the plants (which is where they mostly hide) so I guess that is the problem. I lost the oldest Cory the other day from the infection. I'm not sure where to go from here as I've had sand before and found it very tricky to maintain.
It isn´t an appropriate sand for Corydoras. You can see their barbels amputees.
