Hi there, over the last 2 days I have noticed my Albino cory doing something I have never seen any of the other 5 do?

firstly I dont know its sex other than its larger than the other 2 albino's I have, and secondly my water parameters all seem fine and no other fish are acting weird or look ill.

All my corys usually sit on the floor under things like logs and rocks and come out to scavange for food but over the last few days, this one cory has started sittin firstly up on the sucker plate behind my heater and today almost looking like a pleco flat up against the glass??

anyone else have any experience of this or know what may be up? could it be a she laying eggs or something??

many thanks

Stu
 
Hi stucolls :)

Did you find any eggs, or marks on the glass where they might have been?

If they are spawning, you will see her do the T position with a male, then carry the eggs between her fins like this:

She will then take them to the glass (or plants, etc.) and press them onto the surface:

Did that look like what you saw?
 
hmmmm well the wall he/she was clinging too was right at the back of the tank and I cant see it very clearly due to having a wallpaper thingy behind tank so I have not spotted any eggs yet? or any t positions, the cory in question is the largest of the 3 albino's though??

thanks

Stu
