Skunk Cories

[bikerfish]

Hi All I have had my cories for a few months now and I have 4 skunk, 4 bronze and 4 peppered , the Skunk cories do not move around the tank very much , normal for them is to stay huddled in the front corner of tank while the other 8 are always out and about. The peppered and bronze also have layed eggs a few times but nothing from the skunk?
They are healthy and only really move at feeding times , am I doing something wrong with these little guys?

IME Skunks tend to be a little on the shy side. I had 5 and they were pretty lazy, but I rescued mine when they were about 4 years old. So mine may have been old and lazy. What are your tank parameters and are they showing any outward signs of ilness, like clamped fins, white spots or anything>

Hi they are not showing any sign of illness at all apart from not moving much, they sit at front of tank so I dont think it is human shyness , the water is great and my other cories have just layed another lot of eggs , the tank size is 38 inch long 15 inch wide 20inch high so good size , substrate on floor lots of plants and hiding places . In tank is 6 guppys , 5 blackwidows, 1 spotted headstander , 3 keyholes , 4 bronze cories, 4 peppered cories , 4 kuluies and the 4 skunk cories .
I have had them a few months so plenty of time so settle in ? There are no signs of them being bullied by any of the other fish
So really at a los as to why they just sit ?
