Karen B. Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Greetings I transfer my community tank from a 20h to a 30 gallons. 12 more inches of swimming space! I think my corydoras are playing/having fun. My parameters are ok, except there is no mitrates yet (but no ammonia or nitrite either). I would just like to make sure I am not mistaken by their behavior. Happy or stressed?  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeseADHD Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Looks like they're having a Cory party! Sometimes when Cories are moved to different different tanks they tend to explore the set up like that. I recently put a 6 Cory cats in a QT tank that was cycled & had perfect parameters and they displayed this behavior. Love the scape btw!

SC Fish Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 looks like they are all nice and healthy, if they where stressed i feel they would be trying to get out the tank or be jumping more than swimming around at the speed of light, so id say there isnt much to worry about here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine do this in certain currents and during certain times of the day. Probably a current change in your new tank and they are playing in it. Catfish like current.   1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like breeding behavior to me in some capacity. There's a video in my journal I'll add of mine. I see the same behavior coming from yours. Essentially, big water change, they are following the female around a bit.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Those are happy cory.  When they start to quickly cross in the T shape it’s the start of mating behavior. Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaW Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Unhappy Cory behavior is constantly going to the surface to gulp water, swimming up at the surface, or laying lethargically, hiding or gulping. Although, sometimes Cories will sometimes "play dead" and lay sideways or even upside-down, it's usually for a short period of time, of just while they are napping or resting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
