Funkytown Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hey everyone. I'm curious to know if my corys are normal. Usually during the night, or after the tank-light has gone out, the bigger of my two corys will swim up and down the front of the tank, time after time. This happens during the day too, but not as often. Usually when I come home, I'm greeted with a white cory-belly squigling up the tank, then it disappears at the top, and re-appears at the bottom to do it again. I don't have a problem with this, but I just didn't expect a cory to behave this way. Only one of them is doing it (to my knowledge). Temp is a little warm right now, pH is 7ish, and I haven't got any other test kits (tisk tisk, I know). Small tank, only 34 litre, so maybe its just doing cardio training... Let me know if this sounds bad, will you? Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 They only have small brains, and at the moment, my guess is that they only have one thing on it. Sex, sex and more sex What other fish do you have in with them? Maybe they are having a midnight snack too. Otherwise, you should see little 1.5 clear eggs pasted to the glass. Everywhere Good luck Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkytown Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 They only have small brains, and at the moment, my guess is that they only have one thing on it. Fish and I have more in common than I thought. I'm just cycling the tank, and the two corys are the sole occupants. How do you sex peppered corys? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Yes, but what a ghastly sight seeing your white tummy going up and down on the inside of the tank ROFLMAO SSL Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Caryl, have you seen Alan's belly? And whizzing round the tank is normal cory behaviour, as is dashing to the top for a gulp of air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thankfully Jude - No! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 I've got four Cordoryas in one of my tanks and they do this too, usually only in groups of 2 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
