Queuing Cories

[bmonki]

Just thought I'd share this pic of three of our peppered cories waiting for a bus...

Oh just to add, the front two are male I believe, but the rear one I'm not sure... I think female, as s/he seems to be a little fat.. Do we think there are little eggies on the way?

I shall one up this.

My corys in a line eating.

 

[bmonki]

Haha, I bloody love my cories, so entertaining. They are like fighter jets in formation lol

 

[techen]

Yea corys are pretty awesome but shy >:C

Corys aren't shy at all. Lovely pictures.
On first glance it does look like two males and a female.

And a contribution from me:

Pfft all I have to do is move a inch and POOF. Gone into there cave, there insanely active at night though.

 

[bmonki]

haha, my cories arent shy at all! i got up to the tak with my two toddlers and they come out to see how we all are

 

[techen]

Maybe somethings up with mine then

I've got baby corys as well and everytime I open the lid, mostly to take some snails from the glass walls, they all get excited bunching up thinking it's food time. The more they grow the more sociable they become.

Is your tank in a high traffic area?? I noticed, that once my son stopped running up to my tank every couple mins (lol) and some time went by, my cories are much less shy and are actually very curious and outgoing. To the point that Im always worried I might vacuum one up by accident haha.

I only have 1 pleco among the corys so not really.

How long have you had them for?

You know, because you have a thread that the Ph in your tank is changing/dropping, I am almost certain that's the reason or one of the main reasons. Something is bugging them. Because of Ph being measured on a logarithmic scale, even half of point of ppm would be life threatening and can certainly stress the hell out of them or any fish for that matter. You need to see what's causing that, whether the Kh of the water is too low and not able to buffer the Ph. Or if that's a new problem, maybe you need more often water changes and keep the tank low on organics in order to avoid problem with buffering ability and too many acidifying processes like ammonia to nitrIte converstion going on.
The other possibility besides water quality is if they are being bullied by other fish, or if you only have them for a short period or time and they were "abused" when with their previous owner and need time to distress, etc...Hight bright lights and little to no hiding area, no places to go to and explore(they love branches of driftwood higher up and go sniff around the place, not only the bottom) Or they are possibly sick, low oxygen levels in the tank, etc......I need to shut up, sorry

My corys aren't shy at all; all six of them are nibbling at my hand when I do water changes using the syphon! And last week when changing from gravel to sand, they were very inquisitive and kept getting in the way. Tetras are very skittish though, and shoal together at the other end of tank.

It's kinda annoying that I can't seem to control my PH level, I need something to keep it stable but because I stay in scotland we have soft water and I've heard it has a habit of dropping quite low. I have two large bits of driftwood in my tank, I sometimes see my corys fly up onto them looking about and such and even see them outside the driftwood snooping about the sand but all I have to do is move and poof there gone.It's annoying because there really nice fish I just never see them anymore.

Once you get the Ph sorted and I also read of possible bacterial infection too you are treating, then they'll come back to normal and become playful. The Ph plummeting from over 7ppm to 6ppm from what I read on your other thread is a huge problem. Hopefully you sort that out.
