I Think My Albino Cory Has Lost His Mind

[Shiftkitty]

I have a 5 gallon tank that is currently home to a young redtail shark and an albino cory. I know I'll have to move them later, and the shark is behaving himself so far, but it's the cory I have a question about. We have an air stone at the back of the tank and this little guy, Nutbar, spends a good deal of time in the bubbles doing loop-the-loops. Is he just having fun, or is this any cause for concern?

FYI: It's a new aquarium and it's doing it's cycling bit right now. Nutbar is eating and does come out of the bubbles now and then, but mostly he does loops, coming out periodically presumably to, ah, 'catch his breath'.

Thanks.

That sounds like normal cory behavior, but you might want to move him to a bigger tank and get him some friends. Cories like to be in groups of 3+, more like 6+

Also, keep an eye on the water parameters. Its not a good idea to put cories in a tank that is still cycling.
