My Cory's Are Afraid Of Me V_v

[CBBP]

It seems I can never see them in action because when i get close enough to see them they either run away into the plants or freeze and don't move. why might this be?

on a side note, I just want to report I sucessfully moved all my peppered cories to the basment 29 gallon tank.

they probobly just see you as a bigger fish and perhaps a threat. when the freeze like that there probobly just going into temperary shock.

I have had some of my cories for over a year now and some of them still do that. Its just natural. They dont like sudden movements, especially if they are wild caught and not tank raised.
