omg OMG!!!!!!

Cories are pretty tough litte fish. My parents bought my brother and I Bettas when were were yonger and my brothers died. They went and bought him a little speckeled cory to replace it and it live for a good 3 years in a betta bowl * with plently of water changes of course*. We put it in a 10 gallon tank and it lived a few years longer.
 
Well what no one has really realized yet is if ammonia and nitrite were off the scale, all the fish would already be dead. I'm thinking you have a faulty or old test kit. Because all the fish you have are hardy but with an ammonia of 6-7 they would be gone, same with Nitrite since both are highly lethal. What test kit are you using? Anyway, just my opinion and hope it helps.

algae has bloomed (is that a good sign that its eating the bad stuff?) or could it be the algae tablets for my cories?
