No it wasn't ... I have them too tho haha. It was bigger it was an insect looking think black with 2 legs a body and head. Litlle smaller than a male barb. / also could some1 answer why my red tail black shark hides all day and night untill he thinks I'm not around then swims away if he sees me? Lol

 

[VaegaVic]

Because he hates you.

Haha, sorry I was joking.

It could be the vibrations of your feet on the floor as you walk past? Or if you startle him by moving too much?

Haha thought that was harsh.

Well my bed is about 2 metres away and any sign of me moving which is literally an arm movemtent (and slowely) he's in his cave and waits for me to go away untill he comes back out are corys fun? Lol

Sounds like my L137. He comes out for food, when he has to battle with my Cobalt Blue Zebras for it (he smacks them with his rear to get them off! But then whenever else I see him out he goes back to his hidey hole!

Ahaha. Yer mine has a hidey hole . Big wimp! He comes out for a waver and chases around my cherry barbs lol.

Are corydora fish just like plecs? And how big are they? And are they hidey fish? Lol

 

[I Keep Fish]

Corydoras fish are catfish, not like plec, and you keep them of groups of at least 5, usually quite active aswell, the reason your RTBS(red tailed black shark) hides is because this species feels more comfortable if its out of view and doesn't have to swim for its food, do you feed frozen food? if you do, try dropping some near the cave it lives in, and it will dash out,collect some, then swim back into the cave.

When it gets older it will more then likely get more agressive too, so watch out if you have small fish!

 

[cory mccabe]

aww okay cheers for that... im thinking of getting kissing gouramis instead of corys... know much about them? haha

 

[I Keep Fish]

I think you may have the wrong fish.

120ltr is still too small for a pair of kissing gourami and they indeed get to 12", even for an 8" fish, 120ltrs is still too small. You'd need to be looking at a min. of 200ltrs tbh
