The largest of my three Cory's has started acting very...weird...over the past week.

He hides in the back most of the time where I can't see him. Then he totally, well, appears to freak out and swims extremely fast in random directions for around 30 seconds or so. Then he sits on the tank floor again for awhile and is breathing really, really fast until eventually he goes back to normal again.

I know I shouldn't anthropomorhize, but if I didn't know better, I'd say he seems to be terrified of something. Either that or having itching fits.

Oh, and he otherwise seems healthy, has a good appitite, etc, so I'm not thinking this is some weird sort of infection.

Anyone else have similar experience?
 
I have various corys, sometimes they spazz like that for no apparent reason. I think it's similar to a dog going nuts & running in circles in the yard for no reason. It doesn't seem to affect them adversely.
