Clever Little Things.

Just a note to say I am impressed....

Never had much luck with corries, but I have 4 that we have had for about 15 months. They are in the 6ft tank with my big plecs and we had to move the tank so I had to take them out.

Now, we have some big plecs, so we thought it would be easier to put all the fish in the bath while we emptied the tank.

A while later, I came back to check on them, make sure no one has jumped out, that kind of thing. No corries. Where are the corries? I looked all round, moved the weed, shooed the plecs about a bit to see if they were laying on them - finally found all four corries snuggled up together on the plug! they found the one dark coloured place in the bath tub that they could blend in to and not be seen.

That's pretty smart, and a good deal of team work, it's not a huge bath plug, just an ordinary size one, and they were arranged "like sardines" you know, head tail head tail - alternately.

Now why can't people co-operate and get along like corries can?

Heheh, sounds great and corries are awsome, i have 6 myself.

Dont mean to spoil the fame but i dont think they did it on purpose, then again im not sure. They like each other and tend to rest with each other, ive found mine in O shapes, triangle shapes, hehe.

I dont know if they do it on purpose or if its by chance, but in the end awsome fish.

Yup smart corys, they can camouflage.
Btw I wouldn't put my fish in the bath, there might be some leftover shampoos

nah, you missed the post on the other thread about how long it took me to clean it. And, a week on, everyone looks really happy in their new locations, even my snowball plecs come out and sit now, I am amazed they use to be so skittery, when they saw you coming they would duck and cover but now they hang out.
