cory concerns

j-man the skater-man · 05-19-2005, 06:22 PM

my cory's have been in there new home for about 2 weeks and seem to stick to their usual rutine but i was wondering if it is common cory behavior for them to sit still in a little group for a while and then jump into action actively searching the tank?

i also noticed that when the corys slide around on the bottom of the tank that sand flys through their gills i asume this is normal but just wondering.... its so cool!

You have fine sand? Sounds quite normal, can you see the point with keeping them in fine substarte? heh.

OK, OK, osteo, you've convinced me. If I ever get cories (I'm sure I will sometime, as they are quite cute) I'll make sure I have a sandy-bottomed tank for them.
