Whats That Noise I Keep Hearing?

[Durbkat]

While I sitting at my computer I hear a splashing noise every couple minutes so I look at my bettas and its not them I look at my common pleco but it isn't him because he is sitting at the bottom. But it sounds like its coming from my 10g. Could it be my corys going up to the top for air or what?

Could be either. A small splash would be the corys, my commons make a pretty big splash, they've broken the lid on a 55 two times so far.

Is the filter leaking from pour mantenance?? Umm Im sure you would notice that though, that happend to me when i started out in this hobby.

Could be just an extra splurge from the filter..

my pleco often splashes the surface and then dashes for the bottom. if i hadn't seen him do it, i wouldn't have known it was him!

Don't keep your back turned for too long.

Ha Ha really funny I know it wasn't my pleco because he can't go up and down that fast he's to big and fat for that. I pretty sure its the corys now because its not my filters and I have seen them do it before but it never made a noise before. Sure am glad I was able to sleep through it.

Hi Durbkat

It's probably the corys. They can move fast when they swim to the top to grab a mouthful of air. They aren't actually air breathers, like bettas or gouramis, but they can absorb some oxygen through their intestines.

Often, when one starts doing it, the others will get the idea and do it too. It's like watching people when someone yawns.
