Corydoras Aenus Help Needed!

[BWBettas]

Ok, so i bought another 5 corydoras to go with my 2 what were in there. i now have 3 albinoes and 4 bronze but they all seem to go to the top now?? they scurry around the middle then all dart to the top. Is this normal behaviour? And also if possible has anyone got pictures of corydoras eggs?

Cheers,

hi
well all my corys go to the top for air, they sort of flirt up there really fast then come back down. as for swimming around the middle of the tank i've found that my albinos do this regular chasing each other at the same time.
as for pics of eggs i've found this 1, hope you don't mind me using this inchworm

I believe this is normal behavior. Mine do it as well. They will dart towards the top to get air which helps them digest their food better. As long as they are not going to the top non-stop to get air, they should be fine. If they are darting to the top a lot, then that might be a sign of not enough oxygen in the water.

I have one albino that will wim acroos the top all the time but it can't be low on oxygen because i have a air pump on about 7 hours a day while im at school. during midday the hottest timei have it on and mosty all day on weekends.
